Evolento, would you post in DIY section the steps. I've not heard of 'aircraft stripper' and i know that there are prep situs to consider. also, what tools did you use to sand? how fast a spin (HP, or watts reference) did you have? clean up? etc. i've got an '05 hood that is a spare and want to do this to.
thanks, those last pics are rally something, you are my new hero, MT Rushmore eligibility i'm sure

If you saw the car in person...you'd understand. The pics do it no justice.

You are totally right. I was a bit skeptical till I saw it in person. I'd try it if I had an extra hood.

I'm just venting at the moment lol. Can't sleep and don't really want to so I'm trying to make myself fall asleep by browsing evo forums; however, I'm just causing my blood pressure to rise.
Hope you die in your sleep...

It's his car, dude. He can do whatever he wants to it. Why does it bother you so much?

WAAYYYY better than CF IMO...I would do this but my hood is not perfect....Chunk of ice fell on it from the roof this winter and dented it. If it weren't for bad luck I'd have none at all.
