Nice. I've built one of these, it's a great little kit.

I'm curious why you went with two pieces on the hood decals and not a single big piece? That joint line in the middle would drive me nuts.

Well i like the look of the split fibers. And 2 pieces makes it easier to apply it without wrinkels. I could have done the weave in the same direction. But i like this better.

Cleared the hood yesterday

Cool, I was just curious. Looks good with the clear coat.

that hood looks great with the clear on it.
what clear coat do you use over the decal like that?
