Herculine hood and insert

[RallyDude]

So which inclinometer did you go with?

I've got to get one of those magnet bras. I know others have used the herculine. I wonder how it is to keep clean as it seems like it would be a dirt magnet? I'm not a big fan, but no one can say that you're neglecting you car; you're always working on it. As long as you like it is all that matters.

At this point, I'd probably fill in the center section. If the side angles had a bit of room between the herculine and the hood insert, then I think it would look better, but with them touching, it creates kind of an odd yellow island. You may have a hard time blending the new and old herculine without being able to see a line. Another option would be to cut the VX logo (the bold aftermarket titanium grill ones) out of vinyl, stick this in the center area, herculine the center area, then remove the vinyl. You'd end up with a bright yellow VX peeking from behind the herculine.

Yep, as for keeping it clean, no problems, my first bumper was herculined, it just hoses off. I am putting a UV topcoat on it as well. So no fading and it should stay shiny. As for blending, as long as I make decision soon, I should be ok.
As for the inclinometer, check over on my inclinometer thread, I will post up a pic in a few minutes.
