Need a new hood

cu260r6 · 06-23-2016, 07:38 PM

My gorgeous 128i was just clobbered by a hit and run driver. The damage is all pretty easily repairable (and could have been a LOT worse), but I need a new hood.

The prices from the dealer are outrageous, $800 unpainted!

Does anyone have a online site that would be willing to sell and ship a hood or an aftermarket company that makes hoods? The sites I've seen so far were unwilling to ship a hood because it would have been prohibitively expensive.

Good excuse to get a cf hood!

Ha! I like your ambition, but I'm just looking for a stock or stock looking one.

Ebay or put up a Willing To Buy thread is a good start. There has to be a few hanging around out there that will go for cheap and if your lucky in your color.

Ebay doesn't have any that are not damaged and/or unwilling to ship.

Just found a new SEIBON carbon hood on clearance for $450 shipped. I'll take it!
