Its hard to believe that this was just wasting away in someones yard just because it had a blown motor and grass growing up into it. Why would someone neglect such a badass piece of machinery? OH WELL HAHA SUCKERS GOT A GOOD DEAL BECAUSE OF IT!

hahaha just went into the "mode" get this way when I add something new that takes it even further away from the POS that it once was...which leads me to my next statement... I have owned many cars in my life so far, many from different backgrounds... I have said before, "I LOVE THIS CAR!". But now I look back on all the other's like they were just puppy love. I am truly in love with this one bottom line.

anyway, here are the pics of the new painted hood that I found for 30 bucks thanks to CL

 

looks rust free
stock hoods are not hard to come by since alot of people want the carbon fiber or fiberglass hoods. and lets face it stock hood is nothing special to most people.

hard to tell if the paint matches in the dark. but looks black so thats easy enough to match.

 

Its almost perfect except for the faded black on the bumper. All the other pieces match great though. I thought the same thing about finding stock hood. Im in dallas and I am always on CL and always check up with
junkyards around here too. For some reason it is very rare to find a coupe hood, or black. The combination is rare for some reason. The last time I saw a black
one was over 3 months ago, but it was sedan. All the others are different colors. I dont get it, thought it would be easier to find myself.

Oh, by the way... does anyone know of a chemical that will restore the black that has faded on my bumper other than painting it?

 

no chemincal... just get some clay bar and start buffen and then wax it up.
