I got the hood for free, it flew up on the previous owner. So I had alot of fixing to do, but I think it came out pretty good. I painted it black cause I'm kinda tired of the carbon fiber trend. So hope you guys enjoy!

I actually didnt remove the gel coat. I honestly didnt wanna spend that much time into it. I sanded it down lightly, took some red putty/filler and made thin layers over all the cracks I could get, then I sanded everything down again, filled again, then primed with a black filler primer. Then I just clear coated the primer cause when I put a gloss paint down it didnt come out like how I wanted. So I cleared the primer and got the results I was looking for. Then I just applied a compound and buffed the shit out of it. Everything was painted with spray cans. I'll get close up pics when I get home today.
 
its just the placement that requires me taking off the bumper. Since this hood has the humps towards the front, I dont want the hoodpins to be on the humps. So I'm taking them all the way out to the outer edges of the hood. I want my hood pins in about the same location as his...
