First, that's illegal.
Second, that makes every other law-abiding citizen's insurance go up. ------------------ 1991 5.0 LX Coupe -37,800 miles 13.17 @ 106.14 mph w/ 2.138 60' Pro-Charger D-1SC on the way!!! |

I would not suggest going that route. Fraud = Jail = Big Guy making you his ***** Do like the rest of us, save your money and buy a new hood when you can afford it.

I agree, damaging your hood is not a good idea.
Look on e-bay... some are sold from $150-200 which is probably lower than your deductable. ------------------ Lizard King - 00GT >> 13.698 @ 101.2MPH - BONE STOCK, yes BONE(even air filter) stock. "I can do anything, I'm the Lizard King." - The Doors |

Hi,
At one point I was so frustrated with my car (after I had spent $2100CDN in parts/service since buying it 4 months ago) that I felt like having it 'accidentally' totaled. But now I love the car and I look at the 'problems' as a reason for me to learn how to work with cars. As for your hood situation, see if you can find a junk store that would consider buying your current hood. The 79-93 Mustang parts store near mine has all sorts of used 'stang parts, and I've seen a white 2" (or 1.5") cowl that I want to buy. If I do get around to it, I'll prolly sell my current hood. Problem is I will need to get it repainted which will cost another $300-$500CDN. Something I don't exactly have. Good luck, and don't fraud, or you're outta the family! Bye! ------------------ Gautam N. Lad http://www.cubicdesign.com http://www.cubicdesign.com/mustang/ |
