I've been a lurker for some time and really enjoy/appreciate the wealth of knowledge here in the NICO forums.

I've had my '94 Q for about a year now and it has 68k on it It is is wonderful condition mechanically and physically except for the some spots in the paint on the hood that look like sap stains. From a distance it doesn't detract but up close it is annoying and I would like to switch the hood out if possible.

Do anyone out there know of a good place to start a quest for a new emerald green hood?

Thanks again to everyone! I appreciate any ideas!

try http://www.car-part.com

also http://www.luxparts.com/ - i was looking for black j30 hoods and they offered me one for 400 shipped.

good luck!

have you already checked to see how much it would cost to get it resprayed - if there are no dents?

Just get it repainted. It will be MUCH less than buying a new hood. New hoods don't come painted from the factory. They only come primed. Chances of finding a pristine used hood are also rare so you'll end up having to repaint it anyway.

Try just sanding/buffing it out.
