So about a week ago I came across a Sunco Raptor hood for sale in the classifieds that got posted, within a few minutes of his listing I Pm'ed him trying to get info/pictures/ect.
About an hour or so later he had many people interested locally and on the forums, seeing as iv'e been looking for either a Raptor or a OEM replacement since my accident
I had to jump on this.
678.00 Out the door for a MINT condition Sunco Raptor Hood!
Only took Greyhound to ship from KY to TX 3 days as well. (Thanks again domestic!)

Considering OEM hoods are 1000.00 + as well as Raptor hoods from the website (shipped) I think i got an awesome deal to say the least.
Now its currently residing in my Living room till my car gets back from the body shop, A question to thoes anyone near San Antonio/New Braunfels that has/knows a reputable shop willing to do a kick-*** job repainting it to match the factory color of my bird (Black - WA8555 I think) And i don't mind prepping, as that is most of the work.
Thought i would ask before calling around, getting quotes, reading reviews, so on and so fourth. I know i'm going to have to pay a good price to get a good job done, and i'm perfectly fine with doing so.
Let me know what ya'll think of the hood! And any info regarding paint is greatly appreciated.
