I thought about doing this to my car, but I would just get another hood, cause if I didn't like it I don't think having the SGM painted back on will be easy or cheap..

I actually prefer the wrap over paint. Ease of replacement. The flat look Is better imho. And I can change it up if I wanted.

I can see the paint getting chipped. And because it's matte, clear bra won't be an option.
But whatever works for you. |

I'd like to see the pics - I'm thinking of having my hood painted Tuxedo Black...it'll match the sweet sparkle of the Crystal Red Tintcoat.

My Xpel film installer advised me that they do have flat film if I wanted my hood wrapped. I haven't seen it in person, but he said if I had the entire hood wrapped you wouldn't be able to tell. Anyone else try this?

No car back until next Wed. They wanted extra time to sand it right after the first coat of clear. I agreed dont rush the work. Supposed to rain this weekend anyways promise Pictures as soon as It's DONE I also got new 1LE emblems for the Hood.

As for maint, no wax on or wax off with the wrap. Simply wash and dry. |

And don't touch with oily fingers or hope a bird doesn't POOP on it, or accidently get a tad of wax on it. :( Sorry not a Wrapped hood fan :( Love my 1LE but not the wrapped hood.
