@thecabbagedetective I’d say your topology is acceptable but it could be improved. Namely I think the basemesh is more dense than it needs to be in areas. For example the wheel well shape could be achieved with less edge loops:

The red denotes removal and the blue denotes new edges/sliding existing edges. Also the northeast corner of the headlight is a bit wonky. Here’s my suggestion for topology of that corner:

As for those las images of the wheel well corner, the topology doesn’t look bad imo. It just looks like the corner verts are out of place/alignment with the surrounding verts.
