That's what I am thinking. Do you know who can do something like that and how much?

The only problem is that the previous owner has hood pins in them and there are holes in the hood. I think it would look funny to have a stock looking hood, but have hood pins on them.

Yeah. I think I'll put it on really soon and make a decision about whether or not I want to paint it or not later.

if you paint the sides be careful cuz its easy to make it look stupid. make sure it flows with the lines of your car. if its a 2.5rs cf hood you should put pins in it cuz the scoop will catch a lot of wind and at high speeds can pop it off the latch and lift it. By some sparco pins for like $20-30 and dont worry about paint Just see where you want your pins, in the middle by the grille or on the outside by the headlights.

Yeah. I got the hood pins with the hood. Woot. Not sure how sure how the previous owner put them on though. I'll have to figure that out tomorrow.
