I will say, cutting into a brand new $1500 hood is not for the faint of heart. I would make sure a GOOD body shop took it on, I did it myself and it was extremely stressful, even with a buddy helping who does this for a living.

On the topic, hopefully they are of a higher quality than the first round. I ended up having to reinforce the connection point up near the cowl, wetsand and reclear the entire hood before it met my standards. After it was painted and cleared, it does look amazing, IMO.
