as far as the hood goes, check any shops around your area, and junk yards, aluminum is good, though I think your vert came with one stock, I know some did, which is where I got my nice light hood =)

Mine didnt i got a heavy ass steel one.

sep you got a steel one bc yours is an s4. i have an aluminum one. i know of a shop that has a tII hood and they might be able to find me an na one. i dont know if i would want the tII one. i dont even know if i want to get that border kit bc my car is not fast and i dont want to become the people that i laugh at everyday.

Thats a good point i was going to say something earlier about that. Oh BTW thanks for explaining why my hood is steel :bigthumg:

any other opinions on me getting the full border kit shown in the other thread about border body kits? also about the TII hood. my car is a stock 89 vert, well i have an ebay intake, and i know its not fast so i wouldnt be like the civics with bod kits who think they are fast.

ya minor damage like that is probbaly better to fix yourself then claim it. used hood + bumper is pretty cheap.



I know for my insurance it's not worth claiming anything under like $4-5kusd. cause my rates will go up that much over the next 10 years or so.

Shane.Trammell 12-07-2002 09:28 PM

well, its not just a hood and a bumper. there is also structural damage. i know which body shop my insurance uses so i will go there to get a quote to see how much i can get from the insurance. i know theres other places that do work just as well that will do it for less so i will use them. my insurance is gonna go up anyways bc i got a ticket for failure to control speed.

Shane.Trammell 12-07-2002 09:34 PM

how much will a stock bumper and a stock na hood cost anyone know?? i also dont know what they are gonna have to do to that brace thats in there thats messed up/

Shane.Trammell 12-07-2002 09:56 PM

ok my dad got it open. heres a pic

Shane.Trammell 12-07-2002 09:58 PM

ok the thing on the left with 2 arrows is supposed to be straight. the other arrows are showing the difference in spacing between the bumper and that thing.

just use the sawzall and cut the latch... it cant be THAT expensive to replace if all else fails just get hood pins
