Default Need Help, trying to find some parts

Hey guys,
I am looking to replace my hood and front bumper. I got a lot of rock chips and a couple of bird poop stains that were left by the previous owner. I was wondering if anyone know of a place to get one here in Dallas or would just going to the Nissan dealership and ordering them be good enough. Thanks

Why not just get it repainted instead of replacing?

+1.
If you get a new hood and bumper, you're going to also have to get them painted. Just have the current ones repainted.
You could probably buff out the bird poop stain.

That does seem like a good idea, but what about getting a carbon hood and bumper. Any places you recommend? Thanks

As far as getting some carbon parts, you can check out some of the vendors on the site here and just have it installed at a local shop. The hood should be easy to install so you can do that yourself. As far as aftermarket bumpers go, it'll probably look weird without the full kit.

There's also these performance shops that can probably order those for you too:

AWDTuning
2807 Justin Road Flower Mound, TX 75068

JoTech
3513 Dividend Drive, Garland TX 75042

Pro Tuning Performance
3333 Suffolk Dr. #202, Ft. Worth, TX 76133
Pro Tuning Performance - Dallas Fort Worth's Premier Road Race Performance Center - Homepage

There's also Baker tuning in Houston but not sure if you want to go that far. I'm sure the shops I mentioned can refer you to a good bodyshop to repaint your existing stuff if you want that or paint any new parts you order.

Try Imported Performance - Aftermarket Parts for Japanese and European

Call and ask for Stephen Andrews.
972-741-6358

Either way Joe Tech, PTP, and AWD are all good places to go.
