Thanks. So if you order the Carbon Flash mirrors and rear spoiler option, those components are painted Carbon Flash like the lower rear fascia and other trim, but the Stinger hood is a vinyl decal painted Carbon Flash?

Never said it does not look ok, its just not the clear coat of the hood that gm says is the exterior coat. Its the same gloss as the stnger vinyls sold by the vendors here. I would never order it from gm.
Ive had it side by side and there is no diff at 1/3 the price.
