Looks good, as long as your satisfied with the shape theres really no need to reduce the amount of points at this stage so go ahead and start patching

I started over after trying to patch all those splines. What a mess!!
First lesson learned: Patch as you go! I got lost with all those damn little dots! I've run into one thing though. I have modeled most of the front end, but when I texured it the headlights turned the same color as the body. Is there a way to change that without putting the headlights in a seperate layer? Thanks! Here's what I have so far. |

It also looks like you're in weight shade mode from your screenshot. Change to wireframe shade or textured mode to see your different surfaces.
