Default custom hood finally done

Quick story on this one....

i had a yellow S2000, which was stolen and wrecked. Well i had put a CF hood on the yellow S2000 and the yellow hood sat in my garage.
One day i was cleaning out the garage and found it, and i had seen someone else did this idea, so i did it to. kept my original hood black and repainted the yellow on black also, with gold mesh to match my rims and jolly roger decal





p.s. excuse the dirty car and garage, just got the car back from the shop. (broken wheel bearing )


UPDATE PICS

Here's some outdoor daylight pics.

I thought those were just some reflection coming from your lights.
probs for your hard work.
more pictures of your whole car would give us better idea though.

what kinda mesh are you using?
Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Woven Wire Cloth, 6 X 6 Mesh, .035" Wire Diameter, 24" X 24" Sheet

basically alot of little square holes, i like it more then the diamond pattern. and it was only 25$ shipped from mcmaster.

i purchased it from www.McMaster.com

Close up of the mesh to show the design.



24"x24" is more then enough to do one side, i bought that much for the day i do the other 3 holes if i wanna
