I am going to assume you mean why the hood isn't shiney. Well, I had it cleared with flat clear, hoping to cut down on the surface reflections and make the C/F pop out more and in the sun it looks awesome but that spot in my driveway is right under a tree and it was kinda cloudy out. But I am very happy with the way it turned out. Plus it gives it the muscle car look with the flat black hood and pins.


And the rear lip is on the way!!


Thanks!

i hope the flat clear on the hood looks better in person because it looks retarded in these pics

Thanks, I like it a lot better now too, I was getting really sick of how ratty the front bumper looked before and decided it had to change.

this is the paint I used on the fogs and the corners, worked great. Kind of scared me at first when I sprayed the corners because it went on thick and looked like regular orange spray paint but as it dried it got transparent and looked great. Then I went sanded them lightly with 1000 grit and hit em with some clear.

I think its gonna look sweet at night now with really orange corners, yellow fogs and blueish headlights! I will see if i can get a decent pic of everything on.

I wasn't expecting such a positive response, Thanks!!!

Well yes it looks a little odd those pics because of the trees and the cloudy day, but yes it does look better in person. I really like the way looks.

everything looks god ...

but not digging the hood that much , i think u should shine the hell out of it. The way it is makes it look like a poorly taken care of hood

I can see why you would think that from the pics but in person it looks a lot better.

Thanks!

Well then let me be the first to say those corners suck! You should go outside right now and take them off and then box them up and send them to me! I'll see if I can do something with them!

I've got to get this done to mine!!

I like all of it....Everything looks sweet!!



Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?

Car looks wicked! I think the hood looks rad, it doesn't look porrly taken care of because it is all even and smooth. I think it goes way better. Nice work.
