Feeler: E36 hood/bonnet 2nd hand

[affan66]

Hi all,Looking to replace my hood/bonnet. I have the following options:1. Strip the current hood bare and then repaint.2. Get a good cond 2nd hand and paint3. Get a new ori one4. Get a carbon fiber (yumz)... *gatal*Comments:1. Was told the hood rusting from inside due to bad paint job before the car under my ownership. Might get same bubbles/peels later after repaint2. How much does a good one cost and where?3. How much?4. How much?Can I reuse the inner foam/insulation or do I need to get a new one?If anybody has one at home, and want to sell it, PM me with the price, of course. If free, even better but I'm pushing my luck.Thanks in advance.

if u wanna replace the top layer with carbon fibre let me know, my co. does cf production. Alternatively you can replace the whole hood with a cf one.

or if u wanna just replace the original one also can, then I can sell u mine and upgrade to the CF version

Cost effective way while retaining the original hood would be the replacing the CF top which cost only approx RM500.

Hi affan, really doing up your ride.... I would go with option 2 if you have a limited budget. But if you have THE budget, I would go for the CF one.... k:

i can see that ICE affan will be definately getting the CF hood .... all the way .... nice

or maybe we can group buy ..cheaper marrr

 

[affan66]

can anybody give an estimate on option 2?
M30 told me about RM200 for the hood and RM150 for paint. Possible?

Iceman, CF hood berapa?? Must save for the paint job la.

Possible but you must go chop shop hunting. At the end of the day, you have to factor in your petrol and toll costs....

if u were to get a replacment hood, can u lend me your old one? I'd like to borrow it to produce a cf hood if u don't mind.

How much the CF hood for E36?? Where to get that?

Racecraft ones go for around RM2.3k while custom made ones go for around RM1.5k (but min order is 10 units due to production cost).
