hood paint question i was thinking of ordering ahood off e-bay thats a ws6 replica made of plastic like the ws6 hoods are and they have an option to come painted factory colors my question is do you think it will match up or should i get it un painted and have it blended in to the front end

my paint was in almost new shape when i got my ss hood put on so they were able to just paint the hood with a computer match. They did not blend in the fenders and it actually matches almost perfect.

Nope, it's fiberglass. I've seen them busted up.
The plastic like material is ABS plastic. The front and rear bumper covers and the front fenders are all ABS. The doors are completely fiberglass as well as the TA wings. The rear fenders and hatch are steel.
