If anyone has a dentless hood laying around, any color, any material (aluminum, CF...), I need one. Someone jumped on my hood and left a lovely dent, so he's buying me a new one. The body shop quoted me $781 to fix it and I found a place that sells OEM hoods for under $300 unpainted, but I'm still searching for my cheapest option. I'm hesitant to get another OEM hood because they dent so easily, so I'm kind of leaning toward painted carbon fiber, but whatever's cheap will work. You guys have anything?

 

just curious, where is this place that sells them unpainted for under 300? thanks

 

I dunno, it was some website...I'd have to hunt it down again. I'll find it tomorrow.

There ya go. And no, the last year of the bug-eye was '03.

 

cheapest route is probably unpainted carbon fiber. do it!

 

But...but...I...ew. I don't really like unpainted carbon fiber, but I might do it just temporarily until I can afford to paint it. I just don't want to end up with a crappy CF hood that doesn't fit properly and all that.

 

hey talk to dave, gsmotorsports, he has two CF 04 hoods, with STI size hood scoops. one has a blemish, tho its cosmetic, but if you are going to paint it, i am sure he will give you a daaammmmnnnnnn good deal on it. I will talk to him and let u know about it...
