To me, there needs to be a little variances in the hood, it's to much for me. It's not horrible so don't take it the wrong way. Maybe do the look of a Manta piece on the hood.

Yea the Berger Panel isnt for everybody. I personally like it. How do you guys think it would look with the entire hood black?

I wouldn't do the entire hood. I think it looks good the way you've got it now.

I like it cause its different. The only thing i can say negative about this is the line isnt as clean as a regular paint line. But i also may have waited to long unmask it. My son was playing in the ditch and I had to go whip some butt. LOL

Not a fan of the hood, or plastidip but it doesn't look bad. The ability to peel it off is great though

smart *** detected lol

Looks great to me op, I especially like the "tail light panel" aka Berger panel. Hood is a nice touch and mixes it up too, good job

How easy/hard was it to do?

Thanks. Lol. The hardest part is taping things off. It lays really flat too.

I have nothing bad to say about plasti if you know how to use it and stay away from the spray can crap. I bought the sprayer kit and was great. Also timing on removing the tape is key to getting clean lines. I got an email from them with the new pearls and additives.
