Default Mods for 08 GT/CS

Thinking of getting the Roush front fascia with the chin spoiler along with a GTS II hood. Just bought a CDC Ducktail and the Roush Window Louvers. With all the mods I'll be making to my car, I figured I might as well paint the entire car again! Here are my questions...

1) Can I install the hood and front fascia myself or does it have to be done by a pro?

2) I want to buy my own paint...Any recommendations of some high quality paint and clear coat? I was looking at the Sherwin William's Planet Color line! Any suggestions?

Thank You!

The hood and front fascia are a do it yourself job.
You will need another person with you to do the hood but the front fascia is easily done by one person.

Not sure who you are getting to paint the car but most professionals only use the brand they know and trust because they know the quality of the end result.
They may or may not want to use customer supplied paint but in speaking to your painter I'm sure you can find that out.

I'm just wondering why you'd want to replace the CS front end? It's the best looking piece you can buy for these cars, short of going with the GT500 front.

UpTo11....Yes eventually I would like to sell the front fascia

Kotobuki....I really feel in love with the Roush front fascia since I first saw it! I think it looks great with the chin spoiler installed!

That said, where are you and what color is your car?
