    Pardon my "shoot from the hip" answer as I have no experience in body work, but, wouldnt you just cut out the area the domes will go, then weld them on? This way I would imagine (though I dont know) that nothing would crack, assuming the domes are metal themselves (as oppossed to fiber glass or something that cracks easily). I mean, if you weld it on it becomes part of the hood and wont crack anymore than it would on an SLK, right???

    slk hood fiber glass way

    hello,

    i used the fiber glass way, but sorry i was not able to take pictures ... so what happend is that a mold was taken off the slk hood 5 cmm from each strip... then they were placed on my car they wher trimmed from under neath so as they sit on the hood without any force. then the hood was sanded down with really thich sand paper under the surface of contact with fiber glass strips then fiber glass mesh was applied to stick them on ( if u use bondo and putty it will definitley crack, u can only use fiber glass mesh) then sanded down all the hood and it was ready to paint...

    i wanted the metal way but my body shop guy siad that it will twist while welding... (and by welding it is totaly undoable if u get bored of it)

    Its on the back-burner while jstrat takes care of some family issues. But considering his past work, you can bet that when it gets done, its going to be perfect.

    and not just on his car, this mod looks good on any 202, if there was a cheap means on getting this done, I would have it done along with the avantgrade grill

    IMO the beuty of the slk hood is that it would look good if you have a body kit on..and it would also look good with a bone stock car....
