So got in a slow moving accident. My hood buckled, pain chipped off the bumped but no damage / cracks to it from what I can tell. Also the grill is busted. My gearhead buddy said that there is no dmg to intercooler, frame, rad or anything that he can see. He suggested that I get a hood for as cheap as I can no matter the colour because I will end up paying pretty much the same price for painting the hood + bumper as I would just the bumper. I know the price won't be exactly the same but he told me they need to mix it and so there will be more then enough paint to do them both. If anyone has any other ideas / suggestions I would appreciate it. If you could tell me a reliable place with good prices that would be dope. Also... be patient while I try and upload pics.

I have a stock grill that I wont be using anytime soon.

As well I have a couple P5 bumpers in stock. As for the hood I can get you a brand new aftermarket hood. If you are interested let me know

Also for painting, it wont be anywhere near the same price for both pieces. Front end parts use alot more hardener, clear and even more paint as this is the part of the car that takes the most abuse when driving.

You will be looking @ $200-250 for the bumper to be painted by a reputable shop.
Hood could be anywhere from $100-$250 depending on what you are looking at and where you go.

Jay I might have to hit you up for some pricing for getting a few parts painted, the paint match on the bumpers and side skirts of the car I am looking to pick up are awful

yah I want a nice hood but I am broke currently and xmas shopping is not helping. If you'll take an IOU I'll most likely get it pending pictures.

What kind of car and what colour..?

I'm sure you can find most of these parts here. I have a stock grill from Orange Mazdaspeed Protege in my basement
