Talked me into painting my hood guys!! $$$???

Its hard to say with the custom stripes. The guy that does all my work has done my last 3 hoods for $300 each. That is prep and paint. But they have been good hoods, and required little prep (Suncoast Creations WS6-style hood on my '99 and '01 Formulas and my Steeda Q400 on my GT).

I'd say that you would be looking at every bit of $500-$700 for the hood w/stripes and the prep/paint on the Saleen spoiler. I would almost look for a good copy of the S281 if there is such a thing. The real Saleen quality is poor which I'm sure you have read on here. Mine wasn't too bad, but it he spent about 5X the amount of time on it as he did the hood.

make sure to post some pictures when you are done

I went with the Saleen Spoiler and it took a bit of work to even get it prepped for painting. My paint guy told me that most of Saleen's products come like this.
