If you wax your car regularly, the difference won't be enough to need "aging." ...whatever that is.

How much is the final cost with a new hood? (assuming you get a good quality one)

How much did you guys pay for yours?

man I look at some of yours guys's cars and my car looks like crap, but then again it's a DD.

From the looks of your bumper i'd say if you can paint it to get rid of those bugs...

do you do a lot of highway driving, or was it the previous owner?

My car is a 97, and when I got my new hood, I told my guy to match it, and he did it perfectly.

Don't tell them to "age" it, just tell them to match it....its what they do.
