Your aero looks great!
I have a 99 Viggen and the only (and I mean only) flaws are about 6 stone chips on the leading edge of the hood and 2 smaller road debris scratches on the hood and maybe 2 or 3 tiny scratches around the car in low spots or odd spots. The hood bugs me, but doesn't bug anybody else and they think I am a loon to even notice them. What I am going to do is buy the black hood strip for the leading edge. I did my best touchup on the hood scratches and when polished and waxed they blend very well.
Despite all my craziness to keep the car perfect I had a kid hit my side at very low impact and he did some minor damage to the door - enough to be reskined. So when it was in the shop getting that done I asked about the hood repaint -- $800. I said forget it. The repair work on the door looks excellent and now all I have is the hood scratches.
I say all this because I can relate -- after the accident I realized that it doesn't matter and its not worth it. Just do the best you can and don't get too close to it. When you detail your car like crazy you are the only one that will ever notice the crap your talking about. Trust me. Everybody that sees my car in person thinks its brand new -- All I see are the flaws;)
Just a little reality check...your car does look great.
