I like the 3D effect on the hood, anyone know what techniques, etc they used with an airbrush to achieve that?

It is pre made. Same concept as car decal / sticker. Not paint.

Not a fan of any kind of stick on crap, be it stickers, decals, fake vents, etc. Best case scenario it looks out of place. Worst case scenario it looks ricey and dumb.

I am not a big fan of sticker either, but I like customized wheels.

A wrap is better than an unusual paint job. When you're ready to sell, unusual paint could make the sell harder. Right size rims (those not excessively large) are a good selling point. Peel and stick imitation vents are tacky. Decal stickers are also tacky. Well executed pinstripes can accentuate a car's appearance without being bold and tacky. I like decorative pieces that serve a function. Body color and molded mud guards, functional hood scoops, fog lights, good size aftermarket rims, properly aimed headlight lenses with high output bulbs, LED indicator lights (turn signals, brakes, & tail lights), leather bra (bug & rock protection), window tint (comfort and UV protection), and shift grip (made to fit your hand comfortably) are all examples.
