My Stripes are halfway gone..

I know what you mean, and I dont. Heck, I have a huge CA window decal.

Although the stripes made me feel 16.. and altho that wasnt THAT long ago..
I wanted to grow up.

It will not be noticeable, what company did you go with? Some have gel-coats that fade very fast and i would recommend getting it clear-coated asap.

AIS.

1. It looked best.
2. it did have the gel coat.
3. Fast shipping.
4. They double box there stuff.
5. Insurence there items.
6. Free hood pins.
7. Had the key hole, and third brake light.

I'm going to have a body shop do the work for me, becouse cf is not cheap.

It looks like the VIS hoods fade as well, they claim to have a UV protective coat (gelcoat) that " doesnt yellow in months like other hoods."

So pretty much you get a year before it yellows and fades. I would get it cleared asap, if you cant do it now use a high quality wax or sealent to prolong the life of the hood.
