A used Honda Civic hood carries a median asking price of $535, which is 18% higher than the Kia Seltos at $455. Supply also plays a role: Honda Civic has 877 priced listings versus 80 for Kia Seltos, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Our guide covers 10 model years for the Honda Civic (2015–2025) but only 2 for the Kia Seltos (2022–2024), so the Honda Civic data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Honda Civic hood is interchangeable across 13 model years versus just 6 for the Kia Seltos — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used hood
- Inspect the underside for buckled or kinked reinforcement ribs — a sign of impact damage that may not show on top.
- Check hinge mounting points for elongated bolt holes, which indicate prior adjustment after a collision.
- Look for signs of repaint: overspray on the underside edges, tape lines, or mismatched texture compared to fenders.
- Confirm whether the hood insulator pad is included — replacing it separately runs $30–$80.
