C300
I'm thinking it's because of the grille. There was a gap before the 507 hood with just the grille and OEM hood. I have the OEM grille I can change out, but I like the look of the car too much right now and the gap does not bother me.
this is with the OEM hood

Looks fantastic, definitely get it painted to match. IMO don't do the vinyl wrap on the hood, it will look really ricey and tacky. From a few feet distance I don't think the hood gap between the grille is that noticeable. Up close, it's a bit more noticeable.
But unless you have a trained eye for these things it's lost on the majority of people. I wouldn't really sweat it.

Took the hood to get painted this morning. I'm having them correct the gap as much as possible. I ended up buying 19" Euromag EM2 rims in hypersivler. I am sending them to cali next week to be chromed. Cost more then the rims to chrome them, but the rims were pretty cheap to begin with.

Planned on just keeping it in case I eventually sell the car I can replace the stock hood and sell the black series hood. 350$ to paint including fixing a couple small dents I had on the passenger door and rear passenger door.

body shop called me saying it would be done Saturday. I told them not to worry about the gap in the hood. The guy seemed unsure if he could do it and was going to charge 150$+.
Wheels are getting sent to Cali on Monday.

Hey MyManDan26, how do you like the hood so far? I'm thinking of ordering one for my C250 coupe. Anymore pictures to update us? Also one big question...I'm assuming those vents on top of the hood are non-functioning, so how does any rain-water or car wash water drain out from there??
