transfer maps problems

Hey guys and girls,
Althou I think my topic has to do more with rendering, I am taking a guess that this area of the forums would be best considering most of the people post here as oppose to the rendering forum.

Here is my problem. I am modeling a 2008 Mustang GT, which includes a low-poly and a hi-poly model. The low poly version does not include the intakes on the side doors and the beveled seams in which shows that the car is molded with seperate peices, such as the hood, doors and trunk etc. Then, with the hi-poly version, as you might expected, includes the above things.
Now, after watching the transfer maps video, by Michael McKinley, I thought I got the basic understandings on how to bake down a hi-poly model onto a low-poly model. However, my results with the mustang have came out like crap. I tried playing with the settings, such as the following

1. changing the "Transfer In" from World Space and then trying Object Space

2. changing the "Sampling quality", low, medium, and then high

3. I even tried playing with the Search Method and Max search depth %

... but no matter what I would do, there was very little difference in change.

here is an example of the results
