I will get some more pics up soon! The paint on the hood isnt perfect though looks to have some orange peel. Color matches good though. Good Thing I only paid 250 for him to paint the bumper and hood i guess. Thanks everyone for the comments.

The orange peel I could deal with or you can try wet sanding and buff to remove it. Hopefully the clear is thick enough, I'd definitely do a test area first. But you need to paint the mesh black, it would look better imo.

When I had my hood repainted the painter did it. If I had to do it myself I would just tape/mask inside and out really carefully and then use black spray paint. I did some moldings on my C4 back in the day with black duplicolor satin and it turned out great and lasted. Good luck.

I got it from VFN. And 640 was for the hood and for it being boxed. Shipping to me was an additional 113

Looks GREAT! Like said, just needs some slight adjusting, that's all.
