      It also sucks that so much carbon fiber is being wasted because once it is made, it can not be recycled or reused other than cutting out flat pieces from what is there, or trying to repair what it damaged. Just tell them to give you your money back, and then paint over the damage and be done. Color match the whole hood, or leave a center strip of carbo.

        on a S13 with popups it would look like ass. I have a car with a color matched center. If they were vented, maybe it would be different.

        What is happening with the 2 damaged hoods, I do not know.

              Nevermind.

              I didn't bother reading it since all that's on my mind is that my car runs like a champ again.

                It sounds like they need to be protecting the corners a little better than they are currently.

                  All they do is those little wood pieces, and bubble wrap. However, they make them here from Japan undamaged.

                    That's because the Japanese shipping/freight companies are the only ones that give a crap about Japanese parts.

                    Don't even get me started on DHL.

                                    If he's talking parts in general, I'm pretty sure there's plenty of them in the salvage yards or reservations, being a cougar and all.

                                        And where do you pick up a carbon fiber hood for your car locally??

                                        CF is for ricers. I do know where i can find a finished fiberglass one tho. Pretty sure he has a deck lid too. The plastic bumper covers are another story but I did manage to find a rear one for $25 within 300 miles. Also the parts in general are so much easier to find, Faber mentioned plugs. Every brand that I carry, I have in stock for my car, all 7 brands. Plus the price is usually much better. IDK about you guys but if I'm gonna have a car that is a little older, mine is 20 this year, I want the peace of mind that if shit happens, adn it always does, its not going to cost me an arm and a leg to fix, and its not going to take a week to get the parts. My tranny shit out just outside of Carrington a couple of months ago, I limped it to Minot on Friday night. Monday was a holiday, got a tranny on Tuesday for $250, put it in Wednesday, and was back to work on Thursday morning I missed one day of work. What if I drove a Celica?

                                          Ya, we just order in like 20 at a time from one of our parts places we buy from. plus, they are 1/2 the price they were at the parts stores.

                                          Well, napa has them instock in moorhead. But, I won't pay $4 each for a plug that is $1.77 or something like that at advanced.

                                          PM me for:
