driving to work this morning in traffic...was being a nub, didnt get much sleep...so i was all half asleep still then...

bam! I hit the toyota in front of me. I think what hit my car was the spare tire on it...lol. still dented my hood real nice.

Anyone selling a CF hood? or know where I can get a good price on one? or a regular hood even...

my bumber is scratched too...ugh..but i really care more about the hood. it's hideous! lol you can see me trying the blow dryer/ice thing...didnt work.

 

go for something creative man. damaging parts on your car is just a better excuss to with performance stuff! keep looking at the FS thread. im sure one will be for sale sooner or later.

 

DAMN,
should of paid MORE attention, my friend.
Go get a seibon cf hood, they're NICE. (mugen style )
Try showstoppers.com

 

yea im bummed out cuz it's dented. but in a way now i have an excuse to get a cf hood i guess hhaha.

if anyones selling one let me know!

 

btw procivic.com has the seibon hood for 440, showstoppers for 479...

like as far as customer service and warranty and stuff..which would you guys recommend?

 

this scares me... it makes me sad too... this looks just like my car.. except w/o the dent of course. lol

lol i think that trick is mainly for small dings on flat surfaces... not mangled *** hoods.

 

haven't dealed with any of them.
Go with the cheapest = least expensive.

 

601 shipped for the seibon CF hood. DAMN. time to call my gf so she can buy it for me...

That's what they're for................. OH and that other "THANG".

 

sweet! found a local shop that has the seibon for 400 bucks. yea! gonna go tomorrow with my gf and check it out.

 

good thing its not an si.

 

For now I would take it off, have someone hold it onto a blanket on concrete (so you dont scratch it more) and hit the under side of it with a rubber mallet...

That is if you want to get some of the dents out before you get a new hood, I had to fix some Z-3 fenders that way that came dented...

SMo'

 

Did you drill a hole in your bumper or was that the dealer? I'd ask for a new one.

 

From the looks of the damage i'd be willing to bet the core support is most likely bent also. You would be better off taking it to a body shop and getting a real estimate and fix it right.

 

i looked under the hood and it looks like its an outer dent. the underside doesn't look damaged, but the top is, so i cant hammer it from the bottom..but ill double check it later.

i think im just gonna get the seibon CF hood. sucks though cuz i wasn't planning on keeping this car for more than a year and a half..now i cant really sell it with a CF hood. dammmn.

Look at the pictures of the hood, the sides are bowed up by the fenders. That is more than just a dent in the top, trust me.

 

think im gonna get the CF hood tomorrow from a local shop here in San diego. seems like a good price. plus i dont have to pay the 130+ in shipping.

 

all i can say is sleep earlier and **** happens

 

yeah that really sux.. but just be happy it wasnt worse and ur not replacing the entire front end of ur car
