Give me your opinion...

instead of getting reamed by a body shop somewhere, i'm planning on ordering a new hood for my car, myself.
check this out and tell me if this seems like a good deal to you:

Seems reasonable enough. I usually buy my own parts and have the shop install. But who's gonna paint it? If you've got a triple halo effect clear coat for a paint job, your local Maaco isn't gonna work. And the dealership is a rip.

this will be the second time i've had to replace this hood. the last time, believe it or not, something BIG fell out of the sky and messed up my hood [i never found out what it was].
i have a body shop just up the road that handled it at that time. if i order this thing, i'll let them handle the painting.
