Thought you may vent the 2 hood indentions to let heat out. Though water would run in there a well. but now it will hold water and not sure if the hood vents will let it blow out as you drive since they are deeper then the wheel hump louvors?

The hood is going to the paint shop today, it took a little longer to finish, but I think it will worth the wait.

Some sanding work, and after that the undercoating process will begin.

The paint job will be done Thursday, and I will get back the hood Friday. (fingers crossed)

Excellent, and still probably cost 1 or 2k less than what you would have spent going the DuelL AG route.
