Why don't you try and have a body shop re-clear it and see what it looks like before you paint it?

The weave has alot of misweaves, i mean alot. Even if i get it cleared over and it looks fine, the weaves are just harsh.

Yea, my main reason for getting the hood beside venting/cooling was to have some contrast from the silverstone. But it seems im comming back to it, no choice imo.

I just dropped off my car for paint today, if color and everything is good ill pick it up friday. Ill post pics up as well, hopefully it doesnt look to bad

Looks like your trying to make it look like a scoop. Looks fake/kinda queer. Not trying to be insulting, but sleepers with ***** are better than flashy-rice wannabe's in my book. I say repaint solid color.
