It's not new, happened in the big snow. Eventually I got to take care of it. Best way is a new CF hood :D but I'm not sure I want to spend the money. Could a body shop fix it for cheap?

Body should would likely tell you to find a non damaged stock hood and just have them spray it to match. That hook is beat up enough to warrant tossing it.

Most body shops charge $100 an hour, and that's a couple hours worth of sanding, prep, bondo work, and finishing. Another stock hood off any 92-94 DSM can be had for $50. do the math. :wink:

Hey, while any of you are at the 'yards, could you let me know if there's a red 1ga hood as well? Mine's not nearly as bad, but I have a nice crack from when I blew the UIC pipe off which is starting to rust.

Mark, if you find ANY 2gb TALON front bumper, GET IT! Don't care what color as long as it's salvageable. If it needs some body work, that's cool. The kid I was supposed to be buying one from hasn't responded in 2 weeks, so I'm guessing that opportunity flew out the window :(
