Looks good. You must have an aftermarket hood (given the vents) - and probably fiberglass? Do you also have the hood struts on the car?
The reason I ask - compare the two pictures. The first one the hood is flat compared to the fender. In the second one the hood is bowed up starting at the hash marks and going back. Hood struts tend to put too much pressure on fiberglass hoods and cause them to bow up over time. You can call MRT and they can sell you a different set of "shocks" that are lighter pressure and won't bow the hood up.
