The whole hood is one piece. The hood scoops have mesh at the end to prevent anything falling into the engine compartment.

I'll have to wait a month for the paint to totally dry before I can do any kind of wrap so in guess I can decide by March. At least I get to feel out the all red look and see if I want to play around with the color scheme.

How do you like it?
With that picture i cannot say if I like it or not. I need to see the whole front with wheels and bumper.

It should match well. They've painted enough of my car enough times to get it down

Looks good! Hows the fitment? Who makes the hood?

That looks great! The fitment looks to be ok as well.

You are right about waiting before applying the vinyl wrap. I had some paintwork done on my previous car. Ended up wrapping the car a few weeks after. After a year I peeled off the wrap and guess what, the paint peeled as well! The OEM paint stayed. The aftermarket paint peeled off.

The hood is by Sun Coast Creations. The fitment is actually really good except for the front chrome trim, but we're going to fashion some brackets so that it's flush. The hood springs also aren't included but required so those are on order too.
