got some pics of my freshly painted ram air hood and roof i'll post some better ones later but i took these in the garage real quick...
keep in mind the car hasn't been washed yet so there is still some polishing compund here and there...
in this one im pretty sure they installed the bellow upside down because they said they had to extend the opti vent tube and i installed everything a few weeks ago (have a pic of it on my camera phone but can't upload it) that has the vent tube on the drivers side and not needing extended... oh well i can always flip it later
the fitment of the hood was dead on... definately was the oem mold and not some aftermarket copy...
and finally, a pic of the roof... no more white specles

here is the hood how i bought it back in january....
as for the trim i'll probably "back to black" it, although it really does not look that bad in person, it always shows worse in pictures w/ a flash in a dark area

Does back to black work well? I used it on my jeeps fender flares and it was a waste of time. Ive never used it on anything other than my fender flares though.

for the record the car has not been washed and yes there is some compound here and there...
here are some better pics of the car outside.... still havent taken it to be washed, i'll probably do that tomorrow if the weather warms up...
the spot next to the bird on the bumper is just a smudge of dirt or something, i already noticed it after i looked at the pics and cleaned it up
this one here is my favorite angle...

heres some pics i took today after it was washed... i do want to get it buffed at some point because some of the factory paint has some minor swirling
yes i realize that right front fender has some light swirling... i will probably get the whole car buffed after a few months...
and this pic didnt come out well at all but i was trying to take a pic of the hood... the sun got in the way
