Arrow How much does a frontend hood/fenders cost? ---

I was wondering if the frontend (hood / fenders) of these cars are ridiculously priced like other cars where the hood and fenders tilt up together.

Can you just use any c4 setup (as in buy a used one easily if a replacement is necessary?)

Thanks ---

Sure and you can get "red" more easily than others
Cars get parted out all the time.
You can post what you'd need in the foresale/wanted area of this forum.

Any C4 MY 90 and MY 91-96 will fit both front fenders and hood. GC

The panels and hood are made of SMC (Sheet Molded Composite) which are created from using a heated high pressure mold process that compress a mixture of fiberglass, resin and catalyst. Or a hood body panel etc.

Look on Ebay or your local Craigslist a nice front end can be had in the 1k range or under all day.

So are these cars virtually ding-proof?

How do they hold up to hail?

Thanks ---

Does the material flex enough to crack the paint with big hail I wonder? ---

Speaking from the (gut-wrenching!) experience of being caught in a hail storm, I can say that penny size hail didn't crack the paint, but it did leave little "stone chips" in the paint - about the size of a pin head.

Nothing like a few hundred chips like that to become pretty handy with a Langka kit. My thought was to temp the repairs until I could afford to repaint the car. But! In no time I discovered the secret was drying time, and I was able to repair a few hundred chips (on a black 95 Vette) to where I could not see the repairs, and I knew where they were too!

Fixed some buffer burns on my red Z as well. Nobody could pick out the damaged and repaired edges now.



Why do you ask? (If you don't mind me asking)



YMMV....Just sayin.
