Price For An Al Hood?
#1
Since I had an accident, I need a new hood. Mine was aluminum, so I'd like an aluminum replacement. I know a guy that could get me a steel one for cheap, but I think I found an Al hood in a junk yard that's in good shape. I have to go back and stick a magnet to it to be positive, but it feels pretty light. So is $100 way too much? How much do they usually go for?
He also has a fender that he says is $75. My parts guy doesn't have a fender for me. Is this reasonable, or would I be getting ripped off?

Good to know! I'll go by there after work with a magnet, just to double check. The hinges were real stiff, which made it hard to tell by weight.

I think that would be illegal, you'd be causing accidents everywhere you went...

Oh, forgot to mention, the guy has no idea what it's made of. So he would still charge $100 for a steel one.
