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.
