How much would some of you pay for a powerdome hood thats got a little bit of fiberglass damage...
I found one on craigslist...that needs some fiberglass work to the pasenger corner..the guy wants 100...was wondering how much I could talk him down!

 

how much damage we talking? is it just cracked? chipped? piece missing?

 

Thats the only damage I asked for better daytime pics at different angles
Im thinking try n talk him down to 75 at least

 

Can you fix the damage yourself? If so, pay what you think is fair. If not, I'd pass.

 

I plan to Try and fix it myself lol...will use it as a learning experience on fiberglassing

 

who lots of damage i have seen worse tho. 100 seams good i payed 200 for mine and 260.00 for paint lol. try for 80 and if he dont bite go 100.

 

I think he'd go for 75, I mean unless some professional body and paint guy is looking to put one one his truck no one is going to want to pay 100 then materials then spend their time hoping for the best outcome and still have to get it painted

 

If it as a whole doesn't need repainted then it seems like a lot of work. I mean fiberglassing is a 20$ learning experience but repainting hood needs to be added to the cost.

 

well yeah its going to oxford white with some black added
so it needs to be sanded prepped...primed and painted

 

I'd rather find a white one and buy it brand new. But hmm, if you want a project then go ahead.

 

I would pass unless its like $25.

 

I paid $75 for mine with almost identical damage. Custom paint and bodywork was a bit more though!

 

i'd pass, if you tried to do the work yourself and mess it up worse, now your out $75-100 with a hood you'd have to take a loss on to someone who knows what they are doing.

 

Ranger Powerdome hood

basically the asking price haha. this one looks to be in better shape too so yeah offer him less

 

and i just realized its trepaul86's hood haha! see if he'll ship it!

 

Shipping hoods is a no-no, time and time again ive seen peopel try to ship them, and no matter how well you pack it up - theres always corenr chipping and big issues with it. They are so large you have to freight it.. because UPS/USPS/FedEX wont touch it with the size issues...

Best to jsut hit up a junk yard and scour for somethign thats in really good condition for a couple hundred!

 

Biggest problem with fiber hoods is the layering of the mats.
If you haven’t work on glass before then don’t do it and use the thoughts from above, wait until you find one closer and if necessary pay the price for one not damaged.

 

Man I would buy that in a heartbeat. Them hoods look good on these pickups. I need a powerdome hood too, I wander if Casper will sell me his?
