On a OEM Ws.6 hood its almost completely smooth on the inside, and painted to the match the car. I have personally seen WS.6 on JL-ws6's car and a VFN WS6 and the VFN is not "completed" you will see and feel the fiberglass texture.

No drill marks where the rivets used to be for the baffles ????? and a wierd indentation on the back side of the hood on the passenger side of the 2nd pic???

Hmmm.....I might go take a pic of the bottom of my hood to show you what I mean. That just looks wierd to me.

When you get it post a pic of the front lower portion of the hood, looking from the front at the underside of the nostrils. That's where the rivit holes should be, along with a white circular sticker (mine has the sticker and a few other 's I've noticed.)

Looks like a good hood though.
