WTB (VA/DC/MD/NJ): Hood, preferably mariner blue
My singular hood vents make the hood super floppy. The old bonded sections of the understructure has unglued and now with every lift of the hood, the substructure is creasing and eventually just going to fatigue tear. Looking for a stock hood for now i'll have to hack up the stock latch ring and install Aerocatch stuff. Debating if these will get vents again unless I'm able to maintain healthy substructure.
Mariner Blue preferred, otherwise black will do and I'll just have it resprayed.

Ah yes, phones. On phone, I use the full site, not the pink handheld view, and have sigs turned on. Thus I see the full sigs on my phone.
I think the white hood could look good on the Smurf.

I can vouch for Alan. I used to help him out at his garage at Summit Point and did work on his spec miata.

Sweet thanks folks. I'll get in touch with Alan; hopefully a hood will somehow fit in a mazda 3, otherwise I may have to drive out without a hood and some extra Aerocatch hardware.

Most of the adhesive on the forward half of my hood has unglued.
This is the crack that's working its way over every time I open and close the hood. It's on the right side by the big vent. My hood will be rendered flaccid and probably crease across from the hood latch locations
