    Under Hood color?

    Did all square bodies come with the underside of the hood black? I'm trying to decide if I want to go with body color or keep it black. I'll have the insulated panel so it would only be the perimeter that would be white (body color), but not sure how that would look. any opinions?

    Can anyone tell me if the joint in the circle was attached in any way or just seam sealed? These are aftermarket patches and the way they're stamped they'll only be getting seam sealer, but was thinking they could have been spot welded from the back side, maybe
