Its a long story, I wont add the boring details....
I had some GT350 style fenders installed. The shop dis a fantastic job on the paint/blending. My concern is the panel alignment gaps. The shop struggled making the panel gaps "perfect". It may be hard to get things "perfect" with an aftermarket hood and a different brand aftermarket fender set, I get that. Would another bodyshop be able to adjust the fenders/hood gaps without the need for additional painting? I'm wondering if taping the doors and hood to prevent nicks and massaging the panels to fit better would be possible? I know you'll probably say "have them do a better job", but they've had it longer than it was supposed to be there and I'm not confident they would make it 100% anyways. Thanks

I don't know but would ask a few very good shops if they can do that. If they all say no, I wouldn't try to DIY. Likewise if they give a ridiculous price, which could be to cover paint repair if they mess it up.
