Default Backed into a rock, please advise.

Just over my exhaust there are a series of bad scratches and a hole the size of a quarter punched in in the middle of it. I'm obviously going to get it fixed, trying to decide what the best avenue would be. My car is windveil blue, so the scratches don't quite jump off the car like they would on a darker color. I'm exploring the possibility of duals, but I imagine I'll end up with one exhaust. So I'm looking for a viable solution. Ebay a v6 rear bumper cover?

I'm new to the body parts game, regardless of what avenue I pursue, I'll need it painted to match. Where should I start looking for paint shops? The dealer? Any help you can give me will be appreciated.

defenatly... let me warn you, there are only a few windveil blues gt's out there, and even less that have there bumpers taken off! so they are very hard to get a hold of.

Take it from someone who had to replce his front bumper, the gt takeoff is the way to go. I can recomend Paul's product, he's great to deal with and gets a great price. He had what effectively amounded to half a car for me, in vista blue, in under a week. All he needs to do now is open up a bodyshop himself.

BTW Paul, The wearhouse is amazing, just floor to ceiling, rack after rack of mustang parts organised by colour. I walked in and there were about 30 gt front grill & bumpers all staring at me with those fog-light eyes. That was next to two stories of rocker pannels.

Let me know about the Gt takeoffs as well. I have a silver stang and im looking on getting duals. Just a questions whats the easiest way to install them. Would I be better off going to a shopp to get everything done?

I'm certainly shopping out the duals, there's no way i'm screwing with the exaust system, plus I don't have the facilities to build an x-pipe.
