may look alright with 2 outer edges from the hood lines out painted LY.. just to tie it in.

Another cool idea i JUST thought of while typing is to get a polished rear view mirror if you like it. Super subtle but i think it wouldn't look like such an outcast with a little more silver.

I say keep it. Find a spare trunk and polish it too.

trunks aren't aluminum either

I only have the hood and fenders aluminum, the MR and RS has an aluminum roof as well.

here you can probably see some of the imperfections I was talking about...need wet sand all that and keep polishing to the mirror finish....then immediately after clear coat it

this one is with the flash on

Okay someone please explain to me what that is in the grill. Like an intake or something. I seen this STI the other day who had two of them in his grill. What is it, and where can you get it. Thanks fellas. BTW nice car man. If you like your hood polished and you wanna be different, then by all means do what you do. I like the car.
