Eliminate Sun Glare from Hood Bulge?

[chuck s]

Thanks! Rather than "dipping" the hood I think I'll investigate flat black vinyl wrap over just the offending areas at the bulge. The wrap is inexpensive. Just need to find someone who knows how to apply it.

This is the proper term for the raised hood. I like the styling of the power dome and the glare has never bothered me. I too wear polarized sunglasses.

Never noticed a problem with my '16 and I keep it clean and polished.

That sounds a lot cooler than what they call the engine cover inside my van.....”the dog house” ....lol.... come on ....my ol 2valve ain’t no dog!

Not sure why the Power Dome is there other than making the hood rigid. No honking giant air cleaner under there like in the 1960s. Sun glare only hits me with the low sun angles. Reminds me why airplanes have flat black surfaces just outside the windows (despite the kool Ray Bans).

Btw chuck,

Do you realize how easy it is to use plasti-dip? The stuff is really amazing. I’ve used it several times for different applications and it works well. No drama trying to get your vinyl wrap to lay flat with no wrinkles, just tape off the area you want to apply, then spray the stuff down out of a can just like spray paint. Spray a good few layers so it’s laid nice and thick, remove your tape before it’s dry and you’re done. If you don’t like it, let it dry for a day and then simply peel it off. One can would do the trick and you’re all done. Seriously, try it. You’ll be surprised.
