Front bumper/hood/trunk paint? I have a few questions regarding this matter:
I'd considered replacing the front bumper on my '03 GT w/ one from a 99+ Cobra. This brings me to two questions:
- Are the foglight plugs the same on the GT as they are on the Cobra? Can't imagine it would be a difficult thing to change if they weren't, but thought I should ask anyway.
- What would it cost to get this painted? Assuming I buy this used (if I can), and it has to be stripped/prepped before paint.
Also contemplated doing one of two things w/ the hood. Either replacing it w/ something like a Cowl Induction hood or getting a shaker scoop installed.
- How much would it be to have my hood cut (or can it be done?) to have the shaker installed.
- How much would it be to have the cowl hood painted? This would likely be a new fiberglass piece, whatever prep work would be necessary from that point.
I've also considered removing the spoiler on the back, which would obviously leave me w/ holes in the trunk.
- Would it be better to replace the entire trunk? Or can they be welded and/or filled w/ something that is not prone to cracking (ex. body filler).
- Again, paint cost. This of course using the trunk I have (if applicable) or for a replacement + prep and paint.
None of this work would be done by me, mainly because I suck at body work and I know nothing about shooting paint - other than to leave it to the pro's.
Thanks guys!
Edit: This is just for labor and paint, the parts I would be tracking down myself. Although if you happen to have a rough estimate what this would cost total (parts + labor) that would be great! Thanks again. |
