Yea but for $1200.00 I think he ended up with a warped hood included in that price.....mine was media blasted by the same guy except he hand stripped the center with a dual action sander to avoid that problem..I would think dipping it would really get in all the nooks and cranies like the inner frame rails. The center exhaust is pretty much locked in at this point but I had to make sure I didn't like custom duals before I started cutting up the bumper.
