That looks incredible!! I think I would have considered leaving it unpainted....very interesting look as well. :tu:

Thanks! I actually considered leaving it black. However, it was fading and looked like crap before I painted it. I decided to color match it to make it look a little factory like.

I suppose if fading was an issue (leaving the hood unpainted) but one wished to preserve the "raw" look of the unpainted hood, there is always low gloss clear coat.
