    Default New hood... FINALLY!

    My old hood was bent up pretty good. Apparently some bastard forgot there was no hood latch


    Before:

    *edit*



    */edt*



    It's hard to see the bends in a photo and with the car being white, but just look at the body line between the hood and fender.

    The hinges are still bent a little (Not sure which way they need to be bent back)

    After:



    Before I bought it, I thought it was good paint, but turns out the paint peeled off and it's just factory primer. Unfortunately, the primer was even coming off. Fortunately, the hood is aluminum

    The old hood was bent. The hood flew up on the previous owner, leaving bends and creases all over. The new hood is perfectly straight, and I only paid $80 for it.

    If you actually read, he clearly said they were. Looks good. I'd actually like to see how the hood would look all polished. haha.
