The hood (or bonnet) is the hinged cover over the engine compartment, providing access for maintenance and protecting the engine from weather and debris. Hood damage from accidents, hail, or falling objects is common, making replacement hoods popular used parts. A color-matched used hood can save hundreds compared to body shop repairs and painting.
Signs of Failure
- Collision damage to hood
- Large dents from impacts
- Hail damage
- Hood won't latch securely
- Hood alignment issues
- Rust or corrosion
- Paint peeling or fading
- Hood struts not holding hood up
Replacement Info
Hood replacement is one of the simpler body panel swaps. The process involves: propping open the old hood, marking hinge positions with tape for alignment reference, disconnecting washer fluid lines if equipped, having a helper support the hood while you remove hinge bolts, and lifting off the old hood. Installation is the reverse - position the new hood, start hinge bolts, align the hood with fenders and grille, then tighten. Adjustment is done through the slotted hinge holes. A color-matched hood eliminates paint cost.

Difficulty: Easy DIY

OEM vs Aftermarket — 1997 Acura Rl Hood
Recommendation: Used OEM Strongly Recommended
For hoods, used OEM is typically the best choice. OEM hoods have exact fitment, proper striker alignment, correct hinges, and can be found in your exact factory paint color. Aftermarket hoods often have fitment issues - gaps at fenders, misaligned latches, and warpage. They also require painting ($300-$600). A used OEM hood in matching color costs less than painting an aftermarket hood and guarantees perfect color match. Carbon fiber aftermarket hoods are popular for performance applications but require hood pins for safety.
OEM Advantages
- Perfect fit guaranteed
- Available in factory colors
- Proper latch alignment
- Correct hinge mounting
- No painting required if color matches
Aftermarket Advantages
- New condition
- Lightweight options available
- Style/performance options
- Available when used isn't
