long story short, make life easier on your body man and leave the stuff inside and protected. also let the clear cure for a week b4 installing. you wont chip as easy. also leave wax off the fresh paint for about 3-5 months so the clear and finish curing. (think of it as concrete, it may feel dry but its still not cured right away.) Nice thing about the inferno hood is it has a gelcoat on it which will help resist this oil, chips etc that you are talking about. The body shop I talked to said it would be very easy for them to sand it down even if I've had hood on for awhile.

Gelcoat won't protect against dings and scratches, stay away from 18 wheelers lol
IMO looks tacky just wait for paint.
Good luck with it bro.

Decided not to because it would have really jacked the price up. The grilles are going in friday to be painted black but other then that, that is it.

Looks beast dude now you just need some nice looking rims. IMO those do not match the car at all.

I'm going to leave car as is over winter, then I will get rear extension painted body color, fix headlight, and paint wheels black. Paint job was a little more then expected so I'm a little short on funds now.

So are those functional heat extractors? Car looks sick. Glad you didn't go with the 2 tone look.

I haven't heard of anyone doing any tests but I know that after driving the heat extractors on hood are hot and the air inlets are cold.
