nono, im not talking about the s-tune kit as those come pre-painted.

i am referring to possible transit damage....even if the paint is failing similarly on both sides, if the dealer is telling you it's been repainted, you need to show them that it wasn't to get the dealer warranty repair.


honestly though, if that was my car and only the hood, i would just get that fixed on my own even though i dont agree with paying for it. it's just not worth the hassle.

if it's just the hood, probably anywhere from $300-$500. check around.

i would check another bodyshop. they should be able to 'blend' within the hood for less than 450.

hell, why not just get a CF hood then?
