Hood blisters

I painted one of the hood blisters and put in the screen.
I have cut out the piece that goes in there and cut a hole in the hood
to let out the hot under hood air. I still need to do the other
hood blister. I also painted the passenger side mirror.
They have both been wet sanded and polished today,
so what do you all thank?

Very nice job. Have you noticed when washing your car where all the water puddles up on the blister? Yep, it's against your new opening. Do you have a way to route the rainwater that's going to enter into your engine compartment?

Thanks guys.

The hole in the hood is in front of the alternator and for now I just let the water run in. I am making little scoops to attach under the hood and will let it stick up through the hood little bit, will post some pic when I get that done.
