OP do you track your car? I know the intent of the black wrap is to limit hood glare on the track. Wondering if you have a comparison to make without it.
When I tracked my 5th gen 1LE, the hood wrap made a big difference. I was actually considering a wrap for my ZL1 just for that reason. The car is beautiful by the way! |

That's good to hear. Mind if I ask how tall you are? I'm 6'5 and I place the seat as low as I can before the steering wheel is at a weird position. I also tint all my windshields..lol. First track day in two weeks so I'll just run without the wrap and see what happens. May have just saved me some trouble.

You fixed the only thing I don’t care for on the 1LE. That would be my first “mod” as well. Looks terrific!

Looks Great. The Matte doesn't work on Red

Anyone happen to have a 1LE in Nightfall Grey that's removed theirs??

Thank you!

Thanks, and agreed. Quote:
I wouldn't use the term "simply" for this. You can't really get "all" of it off without removing the hood insert. Then they have edge-prepped the crap out of the vinyl, so all of the edges are stuck on like glue. You'll want to disassemble, use light heat, take your time, have good adhesive remover, then I'd recommend polishing out the hood by machine afterwards because you'll most likely mar / scratch the finish while you're removing adhesive. |

I suppose its a flavor thing. We have a NF gray car and the matte hood works really well. Especially after the Suntek was applied.

Hi all,
I live in the SoCal desert, and with the bright sun out here ...even in the winter, I find the matte hood to be a great help. I am even considering doing something to the bright trim around the instrument cluster. A few days ago I had an issue with the very bright sunlight reflecting off that trim and blinding me. It's the only complaint I have so far! What a great car... JJ
