<span style="font-weight: bold">what color are the clips that hold the weather strip to the bottom of the hood?
at some point as you can see they were painted black I think they should be some sort of green.</span>

Repaint. It is quick, simple and cheap. Buy one of the flat olive green camo paints found at most hardware stores. If you get the right one they are almost a dead ringer.
