they have a resin coating kinda like boats, with their fiberglass bottoms. epoxy resin coating **** or whatever. i had my ViS hood delivered to my autobody shop to put on and align and asked them he hasked a second opinion from another body shop and they said no because these hoods come with that epoxy coating, and clear coat might damage it.

That might be un true, but the part abotu being coated already is true, just look at it! no real need for clear coat excpet extra protection.
