Removing Hood and Both bumpers (front+end)
K so im going to remove the hood, and both bumpers, to get re-painted since my car is scratched up to ****!
Anyone have any good tips where to start, and how to do so the easiest way?
Also, I think I'm going to put a 3M film on my hood, and im not sure if I should just do a clear film, or get this Stealth Film. The stealth films turns any regular paint, into a matte finish.
You think that would look good?
Black car with a matte black hood. (I know some cars do the carbon fiber)

I am interested to know how much it's costing you to have these parts repainted. I don't have the clear bra on my car so it's only a matter of time before I have to do the same thing.
