I got a tip from someone to go look in a certain junkyard, so I went there over my lunch break. 4 rx-7's there! I found a flat black aluminum hood, he said he'll let me have it for $80. Awesome! No fender though.

Indeed. And it's black, so I can be like those cool guys with the carbon fiber hoods!!1!1!!!111



I'll end up like this: gold car, flat black hood, gray bumper, 1 red headlight, and maybe a gold fender to match the car.

here's the damage:

Here the suspension isn't damaged; the tire looks awkward because the car is on jack stands.
