I'm going with a 9, I would do something different with the underside of your hood. Really having to search to find anything I would change since its so clean.
Thanks, and I actually did clean up the underside of the hood. It looked really bad after I first tried to clean it. A forum member posted what he did to his, and he told me all about it. It looks great now.

Man that looks great, I only mentioned it because mine looks worse. I plan to get a cowl hood this fall after AC/heat so I haven't been worried about it, for the mean time I do need to find something to adhere my supports to the bottom off the hood. The hood just vibrates in the wind now and looks like its about to blow open any time.

Pretty sure there is suppose to be some type of gasket or caulking between the hood and support but there is nothing.

I had the same issue where you could see my hood shimmy when driving. So I fixed that by using 3M NVH Dampening Material p/n 4274 and an applicator gun to squeeze the material in between the hood and braces. Then I painted the underside of the hood with some very good textured paint. Now the hood is solid, no movement at all and it closes like it is solid. The forum member that mentioned the 3M fix was Rich72C10 and he posted about it. Not sure how to save a post to one of these messages or I would. I recommend this if you have hood to brace issues.
