Make sure you install hood pins. That way it won't fly off like mine did!

I want to get one for my car too, but the thing is they fade and shit. They are very light, and look really nice, but they don't hold up nearly as well as a regular OEM mode.

Photoshop it.

Same way you take care of a normal hood but more care on the clear coating.

i would suggest getting it cleared on top of whats on there. helps for UV and stuff. wax it all the time, you'll be good.
