total cost for raptor hood + paint/instal

[lifeguardinme19]

Since my hood got damaged from a branch falling on it I'm thinking about just replacing it and going with a Raptor style hood. What I want to know is how much did it cost you guys to buy one, get it painted and installed.

just take the sum of these.

price of hood+100 bucks for shipping+around 300 for paint. boom, your total cost

[slow]

umm.. sure..

Call you local body shops, and see if they have worked on a raptor hood.

For a "clean ready to paint" hood, that is about right, but "most" aftermarket hoods, need extra attention, sanding, and priming, before its ready to paint.

I have seen SO many poor aftermarket hoods, i woudl never go with anything other than a oem piece, or buy one off somebody elses car, that i like the look of.

Ryan. <--- i am VERY picky, but letting you know my honest feelings of the aftermarket hoods.

the cost of the hood, whatever that is(suncoastcreations.com)deal with them directly+$100 shipping. mine cost ~500 to paint, but they put the pins in as well,

if you're not willing to pay for top of the line paint job right now, wait, its not worth wasting money on a crap job.
