^Thanks for the reply! I will make sure to tell him about catalyzing the base. The fenders will not be blended, but I can ask him how much extra it will be. I've done a few favours for the shop, so they are shooting the paint for free, I just have to pay for it. I'm also sourcing a front lip for them to paint as well.

I opted for a new CAPA certified bumper rather than a Keystone reconditioned one. Is this what you're recommending?

I have a friend willing to give me an OEM hood for free, but it's Milano Red and has a slight ding on it. I'd prefer to use OEM parts but I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle of fixing it rather than getting a new one. I'll be keeping the current original hood for winter use.

Is there something in particular that's wrong with the Keystone Premium+ line of hoods? I will be rust proofing it as well.
