Maybe this is a Canadian thing but I'm totally confused.

YT1300

Why would you want to do that? Do you have any idea how tricky it is to realign a hood after you've taken it off?

ReZ-8

Can't a man do what he wants?
Hood swap. simple, costs practically nothing... sets my car appart from the other 8s in town so my friends don't wave at strangers.

not fishing for comments, just a hood.
thank you.

BlueFrenzy

I guess a red-black swap would look alright. I think there was a guy with a silver 8 in the states that has a black OEM hood ... looked good.

Did you try the local scrap yard ... perhaps somebody got rearended and the front end is still good.

Gord96BRG

Why stop at a hood? Go for the entire VW Harlequin look. Swap front and rear doors and the trunk lid as well. For maximum effect, the body, hood, front doors, rear doors, and trunk all have to be different colours.

Of course, your friends will probably stop waving at you entirely...

NVMYGT

To each their own. Good luck.

ReZ-8

I guess that's what happened to you, it explains why your here posting useless junk.

Gord96BRG

Not just "posting useless junk" - I'm also here enforcing the forum rules, like the one against no personal attacks... and banning people who ignore the rules! :D

(That's a joke, son. Just like the first one. Lighten up, don't take yourself so seriously - we certainly don't! Look, there's another joke! I'm just teasing. You want to swap hoods? Be my guest (but not with mine). )

ReZ-8

Yes, you're doing a fine job at it
*rolleyes*

Next time, keep your harlequin comments to yourself, thank you.

Tell you what - when it's YOUR forum, then you may tell me and other forum members what we may or may not post here. However, this is NOT your forum nor mine, so neither of us gets to make the rules. I am happily complying with the rules as set out by forum management - you're not.

As long as forum members are complying with the rules and guidelines of this forum, they are free to post what they like. That includes comments and questions regarding a proposed hood swap, whether the hood swapee (that's you) likes it or not. Your option is NOT to start bitching about the comments - see the rules. Your option is to discuss it civilly and politely, or take it in silence. End of story.

Please consider this a polite warning, and also a less-than-subtle hint to read the forum rules, since you seem to be unfamiliar with them. Flame wars, insults, personal attacks against other members, etc. are not permitted and will not be tolerated.

Oh man oh man... *hands a shovel to ReZ-8*

ReZ-8

how would you like it if I came in your threads, and told you to mod your car to look like the gay mobile?

Be realistic, Gord96BRG, you flamed me.

I'm trying to get past all of this but it seems that you will not be content until i shut up and die.

Telling ME about the rules... wow.



back to business, i'm still looking to swap hoods. If you have sincere interest, please advise. If you want to post a flame, please don't.
obey the forum rules.

Gord96BRG

Let's try this again:
So - I was kidding. Not flaming. Obviously a few people think it's kind of strange to change hoods to get a different colour, since normally the only people with different coloured hoods are those who bought heavier carbon fiber replacements, and don't paint them so they can show off their investment.

However, to make it perfectly clear - I apologize if you did not understand that my post was intended purely in jest, and that I meant no personal offense to your or your hood-swapping intentions.

That said, YOU over-reacted and started trying to run the forum (ie telling people what they may or may not post in this thread). Which leads back to the "lighten up, don't take yourself so seriously". Forum members are entitled to post their opinions around here (so long as they are not making personal attacks), whether you like it or not. Not liking someone's opinion on your proposed swap does not make that expressed opinion a personal attack.

have a happy new year,
Gordon (You still can't have my hood! )

I personally think cars with mis-matched body panels look like they have been wrecked and got a replacement from the junk yard. I must be missing the point of it.

But then again I can't catch on to rap music either

Yep, to each their own......................no flaming here, not even a spark.

BlueEyes

What does the gay mobile look like? does it have a swapped hood?

allmotorRX8

i cant imagine a red hood on an 8 of another color that would possibly make it look
good... any color with black hood is acceptable... any other color combination would
just look... odd. well, gl with your search.

BlueEyes

Why not just get your hood painted?

DARKMAZ8

looks like rez-8 is having a hard time finding someone as hip to swap hoods. I wonder why?
