i may be buying a hood for $75. it has a dent, and needs paint, is it worth it.

 

another shot

 

3 image max...... last one

 

IMO i say no...by the time you go & have the dent fixed & have it painted you would have had enough money for a brand new hood...its your car & money,if you want it do it but personally i wouldnt

 

You need to figure this.

75 for the hood.

maybe 50 in repairs

then you gotta repaint it to your car color.. we will figure 55.

And... it is odd shaped, so if you need it shipped from afar, 100+

Add it up and you have almost spent 275 bucks, more then half the price of an ASCD hood.

 

You have to find out how much a pristine hood is and base it off that. Then find out how much it will cost to fix it if you aren't doing the work.

 

my car is also white, but the hood does need paint, also, guy is close enoug to go pick it up. aand i hould do the dent work myself. also, can you buy NEW powerbulge hoods?

 

Powerbuldge hoods are not only expensive brand new, theyre rare. I don't think 75 dollars would be a bad price for that hood at all. That one dent wouldnt be too much trouble to fix, I say its worth it.

 

I got one a few months ago similar condition dent wasent that bad but funny because it was in the same spot as that one. I also had to pull the nose up also. I think I paid 45 - 50 for the hood $25 for the sand paper to take the 6 layers of Macco paint and clear coat off, should have use stripper. PB hoods are rare I havent found any aftermarket hoods for less the $500-700 and those suck most come as dented as the OEM one in your picture. Id get the hood and play around with it in your spare time, see if they will take less though because that is a nasty dent and you will have to use body filler, yuk.
