Looks Great and I like the splitters...do you have access to "stongard" or "clear bra" products? Now is a good time to think about protecting what you just did.

Very, very nice and money well spent.
Just please remember, do NOT put any wax (esp. carnuba) on any of those re-sprayed surfaces for, at least, a month. Yeah, yeah, I know, modern paints are sprayed on using 'hardeners' -- but you REALLY need to let the paint 'cure' - not just dry (which it obviously has!). Proper curing can take up to a month.
Also, whilst it is curing - it's still somewhat soft - so be very careful about leaning on it or closing the hood with your ring-finger hand, etc.
My recommendation - now that the nose is pristine -- is to wait a month and then get a 3M clear-bra installed.
