Need Help on Parts for Damaged RL

Hello All,

I have been a big RL fan since the 2nd gen came out. I have been looking for one for about 3 months and have finally found the one I want. The car is in excellent condition except that the dealer who bought it from the auction rammed it into the rear of a UPS truck . There is not much damage to it at all. Only thing is a large dent on the hood and the right (passenger) headlight is cracked. The light works perfectly including the AFS system. Its just the plastic case around the light is cracked and I believe the hood may need to be replaced. I wish I took pictures of it to show everyone . Anyways, since its hit, he is giving me a great price on it, but I would need to repair it myself. I have searched for hours and can't seem to find any sites that sell either RL hoods or lights. Any help would be great!

Thanks!

Remember, the hood is aluminum, so it will be expensive. The lights are not cheap either.

have not seen the damage, but I would bet a body shop could fix the hood for less than buying a new one. Even if you find a used hood in a salvation yard, would still have to be painted

Headlights pop up in eBay pretty often. Just be sure its the correct (AFS) one.
