Are you not concerned about it being glossy opposed to matte?

????
Only reason for Matte is to stop glare from the driver when racing :( Never intend to race the car anyways I just want to be able to maintain it like the other parts of the car with WAX ON, WAX off

I personally wondered why they didnt just paint the hood with the same satin paint as the 2 spoilers. Its nicely done and doesnt scratch as easy as rest of car.

they do have a matte clear coat.... I was thinking of having my hood painted matte with matte clear once the wrap craps out. Would love to see your hood painted

I like the idea. I'm a little surprised the hood wrap isn't an option.
