just paint it...go to 1day paint..they should do a pretty good job on just a hood. it should be no more than $200 bucks.

Yeha carbon Fiber hood, and pain the line near the center.
Like this:

It would look nice.
I was goin to do that when iwrecked my car, but my body shop guy said nope only OEM :evil:

.
Wich i could've gotten carbon fiber hood instead of OEM.

Everytime I see that design I think of the Nextel I95 phone. Am I the only one who thinks that?

how much should a full paint job cost?? what do i need to know about shopping around to get one??

besides a nice keying and dent on passenger door, my paint is fading, too... the side view mirrors are fading bad- different plastic i think. plus the cheap ass fake chrome coating on the front grill is peeling off. what should be done about that?

A good full paint job is around $3000.

A maaco job would be $500-1000
