Thanks guys, yeah love the hood blacked out, in my own opinion, I think it's my favorite unique mod so far, I really thnk it makes the ironman that more extra special. I would like to see a proton do it 2, not the rally one that did it first, but a member here. The scoop is functional, i can open it from the inside and get fresh air, a lot of it. But I have more plans with it, that my funds at the moment can't provide, but will in the future. Good thing I love that darn PUV cuz it will be a while till I continue with unique pricey mods. The stuff I use for the cladding is called trim protector gel, by eagle one. I bought it from discount auto parts.
