Got a new to me hood for the Z
Saturday, May 15, 2010 10:28 PM
Got a hood or my car today. Had to drive 2 and a half hours to New Jersey to get it. It wound up costing me 160 dollars including gas. needs a good polish, has a few scratches and few spots where the clearcoat is bad but it looks better than the stocker with a 100 little paint chips and the dent where i shut it on a maglite.

I'm not sure if I like that style, but its hard to pass up a deal like that. When are you getting it painted and put on?

Always loved that style hood. Get rid of the hood pins before you paint it tho.

I wasnt sure what brand it is, i just saw a picture of it and liked it so I went for it. Looking at the pic again you cant tell but its carbon fiber so I may be stuck with the hood pins unless I decide to fill the holes and paint the sides of the hood.

Didn't realize it was carbon. That's a rare hood.

That's awsome to know. I instantly liked it when I saw it. Glad my car can be a little different than the usual.

I would use the Aerocatch pins.

Cf doesn't like being fixed after a hole is put in it.

thats a pretty good deal on such a rare hood. enjoy it and be sure to recycle it back into the community if/when you get rid of it.

Yes, if I ever decide to get rid of it i will definitely post it in the classifieds but for the time being i dont plan on getting rid of it. Thanks for all the comments.

that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.
