Default Stock Body Panels?

Hey everyone -

i'm ordering some exhaust mods here soon - but after that i'm going to take care of some of these minor body imperfections.

I'm going to go to my local body guy and see what he says about what is repairable and what isn't and prices.

No major damage on anything - just slight cracks -

Bumper has a chip in it - so i'll see if they can repair it - if not i'm going to need a new front bumper / 1 new sideskirt / rear bumper
going to get a Ws6 Hood and then a new paint job all over.

Question is - is there a good place to order from?

Thanks.

uhmmmm no not really. chips can be filled in and painted over. the hood depends on how high of quality and fit you want

I was thinking i'd pick up a OEM WS6 hood -

I guess i'll just try swinging by a dealership and asking there - and a body place or two around here.

Any other advice? Thanks guys.
