Sue his parents!

I guess the cop wanted to mess with ya, shouldn't have any problem again, unless you have bad luck or he lives in your neighborhood.

Looks great!!! A little touch up paint, a little dabbed in clear, wetsand the area and then buff the hood again and no one but you will ever notice that area...

Not perfect but WAY cheaper than getting the whole hood re-done...

Regardless, that hood looks fantastic! I love how it looks identical to a real WS6 hood (down to the etched line around the nostrils, most aftermarket hoods don't have these details) but also has the extractors... Great choice !!!
