Hail Damaged Hood

My car got wrecked by hail (Currently $7200 in repairs), so I made a bad situation better by trying some stripes on the hood (I get a new hood)..
Turned out pretty good, and got some compliments on it.

I think showing the hail damage would be better than having that decal.

I think OP is joking. Surely no one would put that decal on their car. Almost fooled me though. Good one!

HAHA Correct!

The tape isn't hiding any hail damage, it's all over the car. I was just trying out a different stripe theme other than the standard.
It doesn't look bad, but no; i'm not keeping the stripe with the new hood. (New hood this week)

You guys shoulda seen the multi-colored duct tape stripe I had before that.. That got called a 'rainbow' too much.

Yep, insurance covers hail damage. At least mine did.
