I found a GS around where I live for a pretty decent deal and I am thinking about buying it, except it has horrible rock chips on the bumper/hood. The bumper seems fine and doenst bug me much but the hood is chipped and its starting to rust from the chips....
. So does anyone know how much it is to repaint just the hood (if it is possible to match the paint on it)?
TIA.

That's what clear bra's are for!
Carson will apparently be carrying them soon - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=239241&page=2

Plus PIA of no hood struts or finding some that will match.

I had my front bumper and hood resprayed and then clearbra'd. Clearbra is the best $$$ spent. I paid $700 for the hood, bumper, and grill preped & painted and carbon fiber Abflug lip installed.

Hey svt5150, did you get your whole hood clear bra'd or just the leading edge? How much did it cost for the clear bra?

Clear Bra was around $600 for the front bumper, partial hood, and side mirrors. Sam @ Premire Mobile did the work. Probably one of the best. He has done full Enzo wraps and Carrera GT's, etc...
Heres some pics of the car...
