this happened at my working place... hit and run. no security guard saw it. i don't got the hit and run insurance coverage (collision)... damn it. time for cf hood maybe?!

 

damn... thats messed up! Is there a camera near the area that could have caught the culprit that did it? sorry to hear that though.

 

at the school??? dam man..
they moved the fender too.. looks like bad things lurk beneath..
KW auto body by the airport is very good, good prices and fast labor

 

i got got hit and run too. well more like scrape and run know how u feel. could have been worse man

 

Sorry to hear about your hit and run. You can now join the club because it has happened to a lot of us. That was major and it is hard to believe someone doing that and just driving away. Keep your eyes peeled for front or end damage and white paint on that car! I had the passenger side mirror left by the person who hit and ran on my Ranger but of course the police never found them. Hope you get it restored ASAP and a carbon fiber hood would look sweet on your Fit.

Cat :x

 

thank everyone for sharing in my pain... im thinkin abour a cf hood... i got quoted UP TO $350 just to fix the hood...

what does everyone else think... carbon fiber hood or not?

 

i think that would be tight... but where were you planning on getting one? I've seen some on ebay and I know that shipping is expensive.

 

i say just fix the hood. but if u like cf then go for it !!

 

yah i seen the ebay ones too... i think kitworkxs here in hawaii (however its spelt) is supposed to bring in hoods at a reasonable price i heard...

although i do have a SHIPTOHAWAII account... so idk.

ONLY thing im worried about is CF hoods don't last very long... something like... 5 years and den they fade and crack. so it's kinda a waste of money right?

 

refinishing cf isn't that hard......

 

Sorry Yota bout the hit and run... If ya got the kala go for da C.F. hood and when it starts to loss it luster take it to the bodyshop and have it painted,man! $350.00 is a really great price if the quality is there the price is 2 for the repairs!

 

CF can last a long time if taken care of. Just make sure you wax it regularly as there's a clear coat on it. Sorry to see about your Fit.
Had a hit and run before so I know how you feel.

 

hoods are never worth fixing unless theres just small dings..

 

why is that? it never gets perfect again?



again thanks everyone for such kind words... i was able to fix the fender to hood gap and plastic welded the broken tabs on my headlight... took me a while, but i think i saved a couple of hundred dollars.

 

yeah theyre hard to straighten out, they are made to crumple and crease.. for a lil bit more money than all the labor you can buy a new hood and guaranteed its good

 

Whoa! Sorry to hear about the hit-n-run. I don't recall seeing any Fits in Hawaii w/ a CF hood. It would look better on your car (than most) esp. w/ your blacked-out head lights, black rims and black badge. Hope you get a good deal which every way you go.
