try to lay down a nice big piece over the main part of the hood, maybe cut a slit in the decal to allow the vent through. Use additional pieces of CF decals to cover the vent and areas in the tight corners. In the long run, Its going to be impossible to lay one big sheet of CF down on your hood and get it perfect. I'd try to figure out a way to use a second piece for the center and be very careful about lining up the pattern. If you line it up correctly you won't see the additional piece. remember, lots of microsol and you can even hit that bad boy with a hairdryer to get the decal to "tighten up" and smooth out. Afterwords, you can always clearcoat if you wish. I usually don't myself, even if i've used additional CF to patch a spot or two, if you do it correctly you won't see it. If you do choose to clearcoat, remember to make the first couple of coats light (mist) so you don't eat the decals up.

Sorry so late, good luck!
