Mine is done in Expel Stealth and appears to match the mirrors, rockers, splitter and diffuser. I like it as it's a signature of the 1LE models.

I have never liked the matte hood on any 1LE ever. It looks terrible and I want paint on my car, not stickons.

If I ever get any 1LE, that will be the first thing I would do, get rid of the wrapped hood. Looks great

DAMN!!...That CF sure looks great! Is that something we rookies/mortals can do with a DA polisher and some esoteric products? What products are recommended!

Yes, you can achieve that result with a proper DA, pads, compounds/polishes, and time. I polished my hood vent with Adam's Finishing Compound and their White pad and it came out crystal clear as well. There are many other options out there, perhaps Todd will recommend them or show them in their next video on it.

Well...yes, and no. I do talk about this in video 3 (1 and 2 have been published). DIY'ers can make a huge difference with the right combination of tools, products, and techniques. Even a 1-step process can achieve amazing results that would make most people very happy. Be sure to check out video 1 and 2 and subscribe so you get notified when the rest of the 6-part series is released. |
