Finally was able to get my hands on an 05/06 hood. Came off a totaled 05, that was also Torrid red, which was nice. Structurally, the hood was great, however the paint was in pretty bad shape in my eyes. Aside from swirls, it had various large scuffs and abrasions. With the help of a friend, we took a couple hours Saturday to Polish it out. Didn't take any before pics, but it wasn't pretty.
Pics aren't the best, but I tried to get a few to show how nice it turned out from where we started.
Wow your car looks great ..... Fantastic job... Your car has inspired me I have to have the wheels ... Ill be calling Elliot, thanks for helping empty my wallet
Car looks awesome! I need to try and buff/polish out some imperfections in my hood that have been there since I bought it, but I'm afraid of thin clearcoat. How much did you have to cut into the finish and did you run into any problems with it being real thin?

Congrats on finding a hood in great shape; like you said, they always have front end damage for some reason. I had to give up and buy a damaged hood then pay big money to get it repaired, but it's worth it to finish the CV8-Z look. The struggle is real for the 04 driver! lol
