ok i hate myself...
yesterday i was working on the battery i was placing a new fuse thingy for my audio install i put that on the screws that hold the battery in its place so i had to unscrew those i put them back wrongly they were sticking out too much i didn't see it... slammed the hood... dented the hood... the paint even bursted a bit  so now i'll have to fix that... i was thinking maybe this is a good time to do something cool to the hood... or replace it with something nice that c-one hood looks pretty cool!! but in the parts directory it says that it won't fit my front end? howcome? i have a '96 st... what does a new hood cost (if possible european prices plz) |

correct me if I am wrong, but I think the c-one hood is just a regular st205 hood. the reason why it wont fit is because it is meant to go with the st205 front bumper which goes up a little bit. There will be a small gap in any st185. I would suggest saving all your money and getting an st205 front clip. That way you get the front, the hood, and an amazing engine.

sucks that you damaged your hood. however, it seems like a great opportunity to find a better looking replacement. a carbon fiber hood can be had for ~500 USD. or you could get the full GT-FOUR front fascia/hood for ~1500 USD. another idea would be the GT-FOUR look-alike hood that they are planning over at celica.net ... personally I would go with the plain C/F though
