At last!

Post by Wrx-2-Vibe »

Got it back from the shop tonight, and DAAAMMM the hood came out nice (w/ several coats of clear). They even did the underside (replaced padding and chip guarded it)

I got it at carflair.com and it was about 480-490. It did require a few coats of clear to make it that shinny and the hood latch needed to be moved a little.
