Maybe just buy the headlight off the guy on the forum and drive around with it a little messed up for like a year?

Exactly 2 springs ago, I had a weekend trip to Zion National Park.

I thought I was fully aware of how bad the stock tire can be so I figure I would just drive with caution. But no, literally one micro meter of snow and I cannot safely drive up a 10 degree slope.....

What ppl say online and what you expected and what you experienced can be very different... be safe.

Well the guy has a passenger headlight, he said in the post his drivers side headlight is cracked, which is the one I need. But I'm looking, no rush since it's cosmetic. But man it actually hurts looking at the car how it is right now

Is the quarter panel OK? Can a carbon fiber hood and a bodykit be the answer? I know it sucks to drive around with a little dent but maybe something to look forward too. Actually if you can rub off the rubber and touch up thenhood paint it might not even be that noticable.

Yeah that's what I said earlier, I'm probably just going to go carbon fiber hood and maybe fenders, but the fender is fine minus a tiny little paint chip, still perfectly in line. But u know I really am not liking the idea of a carbon fiber hood with stock rims :/

It's a slippery slope, once you do one mod, everything else follows. Mine 86 is still stock at 26k but my WRX was almost entirely modded after 4yrs...

Just see what the local auto wreckers can get you. May even be able to get a hood in the right colour. If going after market just get a cheap fiberglass one and have it painted.

You should be able to get all the parts for about 1300 usd or less. Then put it together and have somebody re spray the front end. These cars are parting out all over on Craigslist.

Not in Ontario Canada they ain't. There are zero listed. Bringing the parts up from the US would cost so much in shipping and fees that you could get them cheaper from the dealer.
