paint
I paid about $200, but I have a pretty good hookup. I would go to a professional detail shop to get the paint work done. I work at a dealership and not all of them do the best job. I know ours it good, but it just depends who does it.
when they recut the paint they completley strip the car of the factory wax, buff it a number of times and re-wax it several times. They do a couple other crazy things too that I cant remember. All I know is that it looks awesome, These are people who do this for a living, only this. They know all the tricks. I had mine done about 3 months ago and it still looks amazing, if I set something fabric on the hood it slides right off.
Just remember, NEVER use anything but a soft glove on your car. NO BRUSH!

The paint is pretty heavy on the flake from what i've seen, I know mine is. But it just isnt finished properly I suppose. Just have it re-cut and take really good care of it. Buy a car cover, get a bra. Unfortunatley my dings are on the hood for some reason, right on the passenger side ridge.
