this is the only close up picture that i took. the center part still needs to be done.. i'm gonna paint that black the way it should be.
i didn't wet sand it nor buff it. if i buff'd it those little white spots you see probably wouldn't be there. but in person you cant see them anyways. you can only feel them. but after 1 week or so i'ma wash the car and see if i can make it even smoother than it already is

i would paint the hood but its not gonna be worth it cuz of a wrinkle on the hood. plus i'm going to be getting a CF hood anyways.
