need a straight undented hood, don't care about paint, can be ****ty. I found at the tech day that my hood is made of steel somehow :facepalm: I'd be willing to trade my old black steel hood (good paint) plus cash for any color aluminum one.

Tommy (Roadster) should have a red one but I'm not too sure what his plans for his parts car are. He's also a long drive away from you, with him being in Covington. -
well i'm just thinking if someone on here happens to have one i'll grab it the next time i come down for something, like that dyno day if it happenssigpicComment

Fair enough :)
How did you find out it was Steel? I had no idea Miata's could come with Steel hoods.Comment

I am going to guess either he lifted someone's else hood at the tech day or someone lifted his and commented on the weight.Originally posted by MX5ATLanta.com View Post1988 323 GTX--- The toy now :D

yeah, i've never been around a ton of other miatas at the same time like that, and yeah, someone picked up my hood and was like woa wtf, and i was like what do you mean? and then i lifted another hood, and I couldn't believe it. Then we stuck a magnet on it, and yeah.. :(
i'm guessing the PO rear ended a tow hitch or something. I think it was mike who also pointed out that it didn't have any badging like other hoods do on the underside. my rad was also kinda ****ed up when i got the car. who knows.sigpicComment

I pointed out that it doesn't have the correct badges underneath the hood. I would say your assumption of the previous PO hitting a hitch would be pretty close cause IIRC, both front fenders still had vin # tags on them.Comment
