    Better keep a pair of sunglasses in the VX at all times. That insert looks like a mirror.
    Hmmm, I hadn't thought of how it will reflect sunlight.... lol

    I'm also doing both door handles, the moon piece, the driver/passenger window switch panels, and outdoor mirrors...

    The VX sales brocheurs (SP?) indicated that's why they added the hood insert. That's why I went with LineX. Although dark & shiney, the texture keeps it from being too reflective.

    Most hoods have a shiny, gloss finish though. How was the CF applied? I love it.

    I'm assuming it's got some sort of clear coat on top? Is it built up, sanded, and redone several times?

    #5 says he has 3 coats of clear coat on top of the CF.
