Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

EDIT: Also, should mention, I have stretch resistance and compression resistance set at 1000 in those screenshots. Even with them both up at 10,000 there's too much slip going on

For the seems, I just extrude the edges of the panels an inch or two straight in, then use the insert edge loop tool to sharpen it up. Once I'm happy with how sharp the edge is, I'll move the edges of the panels apart to match the car as well as I can.
I'll post some pictures of what I mean later on, or tomorrow if I have time.

---------
1. Start with a poly pipe, vaguely match the settings to the wheel arch
2. Cut away the faces you don't need. Usually I cut it up to the half way point, so that I get straight edges the rest of the way down when I extrude
3. Start extruding things and building the shape of the fender.
4. Once it's built, grab the edges around the wheel arch, and the rest of the panel, and extrude them straight in. Do it so that you only extrude the edges that go in one direction at a time, so side first, then top, the back, etc. Add an edge loop to sharpen it up
5. Grab the edges where the next panel should start and extrude them
6. Select the faces you just made and extract them from the other mesh. (Mesh>Extract, I think)
7. Build the next panel, and repeat the process of extruding inward, match up the edgeloops so both panels have the same sharpness.
8. Move the edges of the completed panels apart, to match the real car.
