I had my new hood painted and aligned for $380...

Don't get the fenders blended, body shops do an EXCELLENT job with matching parts. Trust me, I work at one.

SOME do, trust me I've worked at a few.

ok so now im looking at 380 + the cost of the hood? thats not too bad what are some good sites to find a hood at?

We're not all little body shops giving you estimates from our computers at home. These are all just ball park fields. So don't be surprised if you go to a local body shop and they want $650, and then you go "Well the guys on MF said it would be $350...." Just ask local body shops for estimates. We can't give acurate figures cause we're all from different places. Some might have a body shop that'll do it for $200. Other may live in some ritzy area where a cup of coffee at Dunkin' Donuts is $8, and the body shop will want $700 or $800.

RE: paint

i know i was just making sure i had it right, i was making sure he didnt say 380 for the hood, paint, and to get it aligned. if that were the case i would most likely drive out there bc thats cheap as ****
