Put the new hood on

I miss understood the guy doing my body work/paint, I thought he was gonna paint the hood entirely, but all he did was the underneath. He said he'll do the top when he paints the whole car so there is no chance of color variance, still looks goofy with the car torn apart and missing the inserts, but ya kinda get the picture. All I know is when the car looks as bright red and gloosy as the underside, it'll be a bad some-bitch.

Eh, not my taste. I like the sleeker looking cowls.. the ones that are like 2" and aren't very steep. This one is too steep for me. Do you have somethin big under there that needs the extra clearance, or is it just for looks?
