Weights? How would weights help you make this car? Its a good start for a car, but you have no need for weights here.

do you mean you are wanting to sharpen some of the edges of the model?

yea, but MR does not render creases [only partial crease iirc im not sure about maya 7.0 release]. so u better just add more edges as u see fit to get good results.
good progress

but if you then convert your subd's back to polys using adaptive mode then your fine all the creases are intact and render using mental ray

true. but that also gives u tons of excess geometry u dont need. :nod:
best creasing method for *me is using the koshigaya studio tools. it allows u to slide or offset an edge loop along normals.
