i dont know about their hoods yet, but i just got my front bumper in from a place called pershing auto body on ebay. They do about 1500 orders a month and i gotta say, it looks to be an OEM bumper (has all the mounting holes) and it comes painted. Just send em your color code and they got it to my door in less than a month and its beautifull and lools like it will fit perfectly. havent put it on yet but will do it first thing tomorrow morning. Im seriously thinking about buying a ss hood from them painted shipped for around 700 bucks. its really really good quality. I think theyre worth a shot to look at and def not your average ebay seller

sounds good bro, a hood painted for 700 is a steel...keep me informed as to how the bumper turns out and if you get a hood from them as well!
