Default Needa Hood!

A nicre little whitetail deer tried to takeout my '06....dead deer, and a sorely bruised 'Stang!!
Bumper,lower grill,headlight assembly, and hood!

So, I was thinking of replacing the OEM hood with a Keystone Heat Extractor.
Has anyone here done this and how is the quality of the fiberglass?
The first body shop expressed concerns about how much prep time would be involved with
this item.
Also leaning towards the Xenon Aggressive Front Facia...any quality issues here?

Ehhh, I had 2 trufiber hoods and did not like the quality one bit! Maybe thier KR hoods are better, but from my experience, never again. Just got a Cervinis Ram air IV hood and it is amazing. I put it on, and it is as good as I think a fiberglass hood can get prebody shop. Everything lines up perfect, and it doesnt flex like my trufiber one did.
