????? needs glasses?

 

My question is how long have you had that hood?

 

Under a year old and its Fiber Images ( the best company out there supposively.. BULLSHIT!!)

 

looks alot better dam that hood must of faded quickly

 

u coulda just painted it?

 

sorry dont have money coming out of my *** to paint the hood. im a DIY guy on a Tight budget and i dont know how to body paint and the damn hood doesnt even fit right in the first place.

shops around here wanted $300-400 to paint the hood, clear it buff it

 

looks better, but its still pretty bad for only a year old... glad I didn't get a Fiber Images hood to them

 

maybe you can clear it now and try to prevent it from happening again. they used a cheap clear to protect it and it obviously failed. you need to clear it with a high uv protection. good job on a budget though.

or maybe you can rattle can clear it. if it sucks just color sand it off

to making it look better.... to fiber images

i need to do that to my hood too. i was in korea for 9 months and my hood looked almost as bad, took it to this detailer guy and he made it look alot better.

 

holy ****, i cant beleive it got that way after only a year, is it because of salt? i had fiberimages **** and it was very well made, no complaints here. looks better then before

 

I'd have that cleared by a body shop. You did a good job though.

 

i wetsanded my hood with 2000 grit and then used the 3m heavy oxidation remover and the liquid polish for boat hulls and it came out good.

 

good comeback.
