    if your willing to do used check out www.shokan.com

    email them with what you want and they'll most likely have it for a decent price and good condition, save for a rare hood like casa blanca etc...

    Shokan is great but you might have to go pick up the Hood as they wont ship large items such as Bumper Cover etc...but definately check with them. If your in PA it could be a decent little road trip

    Re: need a new hood

    If you get it you WILL have to run hood pins.

    The hood wont fit right for one, and for two even if it did, Your hood latch would not hold the hood down far enough and you would have a large gap between the hood and front bumper do to the approx. 30lb weight difference. Get a GOOD set of hood pins.. I copped out and got some $20.00 ones and they broke doing about 140mph, the hood flipped back, slammed into my windshield, shattering it, dented my roof, and messed the sunroof frame up.. The hood was in about 100 pieces.

    I'm assuming you're referring to the one i linked to above. If it will require hood pins then i don't want it. If i wanted hood pins i would go with carbon fiber. Glad i waited to buy it. Thanks for the heads up. Guess i'll check with shokan and see what they have.
