need a new hood

xluben · Jan 25, 2007

i had some rust spots in my hood, so i sanded them out and repainted, BUT it didn't turn out that well, and is definitely noticeable

what's me best option to get back to the stock look (or something better, but nothing flashy)?

re-paint? junk yard? ebay? something else?

how much would each option cost?

i'm looking for the cheapest thing possible. i figure the junk yard would be cheapest, but what are the odds they'll have a hood in good shape?

thanks for the link.

anyone know which hoods will fit my car (99 lx sedan 4cyl)?

is it all sedans 98-02?

PROJECT H · Jan 25, 2007

98-00 sedan (v6 or 4cyl) should fit no problem,

if u put 01-02 there mite be a gap i think.. or was it the other way around....

how much are you looking to spend on a hood?

why not go for a CF Hood? $300 for a OEM VIS hood ($400+ for Siebon), and you'll save more money because you wont have to paint the hood... and plus, a CF Hood looks good with any color car

98-00 hoods have a crease in them, the 01-02 hoods are kinda lifted up where the crease in the 98-00 hoods are. the only difference would be if you have a sedan and got a coupe hood. all sedan hoods, 98-02, should fit fine on your car, but denpending on your model year, you have to get either the 98-02 style or 01-02 style.

i'm looking at trying to pick one up for ~$100 in good shape (hopefully already black).

the first link found one (for my car, model, year, color) within driving distance and about $135.

i'm going to look into it. if i also look at 98's and 00's i might find some more.

$400+ is just not gonna happen

i think he meant $300 for an OEM, so i should just spend a bit more and get the CF.

i'm still hoping to spend <$100 on a junkyard hood in (very) good condition.
