Before I go and order anything I am going to inspect the top section of the hood and see if it is as good as it looks. If there is any small cracks in it at all then Im just going to junk it and get another hood.

What I have found is that water was the ultimate cause of this hood failing. The scoop opening was cut out as well as the rear cowl area. I cant even count how many times I have opened my hood and water poured out bottom near the hinges. If any of you have opening in your hoods then you better make sure water is not collecting in it. This may steer me toward getting regular cowl hood....again.

I'll take the old hood if you're gonna junk it.

if you need the 3M gun i have it AND i would use a few tubes of 3M panel bond and clamp it for 2 days and it will be better then new.



Which gun do you have? I found a few 3M products but they all use different guns depending on the size of the cartridge and the mix ratio


Update: The frigggen gun I neeed is $509 friggen dollars from 3M. What the hell is wrong with those people? The 200ml cartridge is $40.

You don't really NEED the gun. If you really don't want to borrow pizzas just stick a screwdriver in the back end and force equal parts out of both sides. Then make sure you mix them well. Works just the same. Not nearly as clean but gets the job done

I cant do that with a short work time on the product. Plus I have to do 3 sides and a shit load of spots around the middle of the hood. THis is turning ino a PITA just looking for the shit I need. I hate my car.
