ok i hate myself...
yesterday i was working on the battery
i was placing a new fuse thingy for my audio install
i put that on the screws that hold the battery in its place
so i had to unscrew those
i put them back wrongly
they were sticking out too much
i didn't see it...
slammed the hood...
dented the hood...
the paint even bursted a bit >> >> >> >>

so now i'll have to fix that...
i was thinking maybe this is a good time to do something cool to the hood... or replace it with something nice
that c-one hood looks pretty cool!!
but in the parts directory it says that it won't fit my front end?
howcome?
i have a '96 st...

what does a new hood cost (if possible european prices plz)

correct me if I am wrong, but I think the c-one hood is just a regular st205 hood. the reason why it wont fit is because it is meant to go with the st205 front bumper which goes up a little bit. There will be a small gap in any st185. I would suggest saving all your money and getting an st205 front clip. That way you get the front, the hood, and an amazing engine. >>

sucks that you damaged your hood. however, it seems like a great opportunity to find a better looking replacement. a carbon fiber hood can be had for ~500 USD. or you could get the full GT-FOUR front fascia/hood for ~1500 USD. another idea would be the GT-FOUR look-alike hood that they are planning over at celica.net ... personally I would go with the plain C/F though

Id say whatever they say....get the front clip >>

i dont know if yall have vis there but they supposedly have oem cf hoods for us

i agree with the front clip too.
