Brace yourself, stupidity is abound, and it sucks. I just got my hood on my car tonight, my hood latch is busted so I was putting in hood pins. I couldn't find a drill bit big enough, so I called it a night and decided to finish the job in the morning, so I dropped off my friend at his house, and started coming home, I didn't exactly think the hood would develop lift at 45-50mph, and it didn't even shudder, it just flew straight back full force and shattered my windshield, and bent the hood backwards, so, laughing aside, does anyone know how much a new hood and windshield is gonna run me?

I'm working at a junkyard in youngsville, NC right now. Used windshield for a sedan is listed from 75-100$

used hood is listed for 75-150$

that's pretty expensive, i'm sure you can find a cheaper junkyard somewhere

Jeez a used hood here is $200 + and a used windshield is like $100. cough get CF hood if you can.

Yeah, but I think the carbon fiber would sort of clash with the rust spots that adorn my car. Thanks for the help

A hood is $30, just look else where if its more then that. You might have to pay like $10-$15 for a grill to be included. I dont know about the glass, but shouldnt be more then $100 for a used one. Thats just insane, a new probably cost $100.

Yea, like it did mine! :crying: Didn't even break the windshield though, but it did shatter the moonroof

Yeah, it didn't hurt the roof, the hood just kind of wrapped around the a pillar so when I put it back down it was like a frikkin ski jump or something on the front of my car, and I'm not lucky enough to have a moonroof in the first place. While we're on the topic of glass though, does anyone know how much a rear window for an LXi hatch is? Because I found one I might just get running like I did my car and put in the rear window.
