there aren't that many compound curves on the mdx right?

compound curves are what makes it a bitch. are you going to do the whole hood or just part of the hood + bumper?

if done right the before/after pics should not look any different, except from extreme angles

one more thing D, some places cut the sheet slightly bigger, this is so you can tuck in the edges, thus no visible edge where dirt and dust can accumulate. looks 100x better than non-tucked.
