You have one heck of a leaking hood. Rubberized sealant like you see advertised on TV. Works on TV but not when you get it home.

That would drive me crazy! I'd be constantly trying to dry and clean it.


Nice design and execution though.

I don't get why someone would want that.

It does look real though.

Most of us go out our way to keep it from looking like that. But great execution!

The rain drops do look real.. The tree reflection would look great on the chrome parts as well... Do that as well...

Nothing! Most people don't ever wash their cars, why would they look askance at a car with water beading all over it?
