I took the plunge and bought !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I was talking about. Here it is, sitting in my woodpile.

Note to self: put it in my bed and take a The Godfather picture before installing

Here's the outgoing one:

Between the fist-sized passenger-side dent underneath, the intense fading on the middle/driver-side upper, and a laundry list of other imperfections, I figured: just replace the damn thing.

I'm going from a 93 piece to a 90-92 one, so it's gonna look a little different. I held it up to the rest of the car and its color matches quite well. Just a little less shiny than the remaining good paint (but this car is already all over the matte/shiny and red/pink spectrums so no beef is had).

There are a couple INCOMPLETE guides online on how to perform this face transplant. But it ain't rocket science, so I'm sure I'll pull through one way or another.
