Steel Hoods

Why buy a steel hood?

Steel hoods use factory hardware and usually meet OEM criteria for fit and finish. The steel hoods we sell give you a great way to enhance the appearance of your car and give it a custom race look. As opposed to fiberglass or carbon hoods, steel hoods do not need hood pins and will stay securely on your vehicle at any speed.

How do you install a steel hood?

Steel hoods are attached the same way your OEM hood is. There are four bolts that hold the factory hood to the hinges, so remove those, and align and re-bolt the new hood in using those same 4 bolts.

Are steel hoods paintable?

Steel hoods are definitely paintable. It's expected that you'll paint them to match the color of your car.

Why To Buy?:

The hood is one of the most prominent design features on your vehicle. However, because of its placement at the front of your ride, it is also prone to damage from road debris and accidents. If your original hood has seen better days the easiest path is to replace it with a brand new steel hood. Aftermarket steel hoods will give you the same great look, fit and finish as your original unit so your car will maintain its luster for years to come. Here at Andy's Auto Sport we have a wide selection of steel hoods to choose from. Whether you are restoring your car or simply fixing accident damage, you are sure to find the perfect hood in our lineup.

Did You Know?:

While there are other alternatives, steel is still the top choice material for replacement hoods thanks to its affordability and fantastic fit and finish. Aftermarket steel hoods are easy to paint, and will look just like the original unit after they are installed. Often times a steel hood will also help maintain the value of your car. Many consumers frown upon non-original hoods which cause resale values to plummet. So if you want to keep your vehicle's value, and maintain its good looks, we recommend looking into a replacement steel hood.
