If it didn't bend your body, DIY it's not that difficult, I am in the same situation as you, need hood, left fender and left headlight/assy

 

Getting the paint right is 80% of the problem.

 

Unless you have alot of artistic talent or construction trade talent, I would stick to changing the parts out for used ones, then let the body shop do the paint work. Basically a unbolt and bolt on process, and probably a few clips to pop too. Be careful with the clips, use the special tools or you will break them. If you paint yourself, you will need to know the right grits to use and how to wet sand and buff properly. Get the newest book on it off amazon.com.

 

if you need a book to figure out how to do this then there is a problem...:dunno:

 

Well, it depends…do you want orange peel and no gloss, or a seamless finish?

 

Once you hold

The parts in your hands to see where and how it bolts up is a no brainer. make sure you take your time with alignment issues so the body lines line up etc...once it is tight ...then get the prep work done for the paint and shoot it...none of this is that difficult, just take your time especially in preping the surface for paint...GL

I haven't done one of our cars yet, but I have done others and really nothin to it...

 

Thanks for the feedback all. I will let the pro's take care of the finishing.
