I am thinking about getting a few things done to my car - nothing big. (08 V6)

1.) Does cold air intake + tuner cancel the 3-year warranty?

2.) Do dealerships sell factory paint? If not, what are some REALLY RELIABLE aftermarket paint companies/websites.

3.) Do most dealerships/auto shops cut rear bumpers for free? I saw on some other posts that local shops do that. Does it also cancel the warranty?

4.) If #1 & #3 do cancel the warranty, what are some mods that don't?

no it wont, no they dont ( atleast not here ) go to like a body shop and ask them... here its ohio PPG
no they typicly dont. but its easy to do urself with a 5 inch stove pipe at an angle like i did... or look on the pypes website i belive theres a template... theres a link pages back but maybe someoen can send it to you

how ever if u get a tuner, get one that will store the OEM code.

if u go back to a dealer put that code back in

As far as an aftermarket paint supplier, I've had good experiences with paintscratch.com. I've used their paints for a couple of my cars (touch-up, hood scoops, panels), and it has matched perfectly. It's a little pricey, but if you like your stuff right as I do, it's worth it. If you get a paint that almost matches, but not quite, that's all you'll ever think about...lol

Wow thanks for the great answers! I visited the paintscratch website and I am guessing Colorado Red Clearcoat is "Torch Red"?

Also, I found this hood on sale from CruizinConcepts. Link - Is this a good choice? And does it come painted? It probably doesn't but I just want to make sure.
