It can be a bear to get it back off later on if you decide to paint it. I'm assuming you have the stock Evo hood. Carbon hoods get really hot and could bubble the vinyl. Here is a link with the basics of vinyl application. http://www.customvinylgraphics.com/a...-graphics.aspx

Once its applied with no bubbles it will not rebubble.

it will be extremely hard to make it look right especially around the hood vent.
