judging from the bolts holding it on, this hood's been off..or put on the car. carfax did show one accident, so wouldn't be surprised. i felt paint lines along panel seams on the driver's side the whole length of the car..that side was worked a little and re-sprayed/blended. oem or aftermarket hood..wondering because of this name on it: [IMG][/IMG] and check out these pics..both front fenders likely removed, although no paint/body work on pass. side, only driver's..you can tell from the scratches on the paint near tops of say, the shock towers on both sides..plus there's some paint that was poorly over-sprayed in a grayer color. and finally, is the bracket pictures at bottom bent a little? i think it is..and it's not really anchored anymore: [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] thanks!

we need to see more pics, from the hood closed and also a wider variety, but the engine heater looks like it would make it a stock hood. Maybe from a different G though.
