Probably ought to mention where you're at, as it's extremely difficult/expensive to ship a painted, aluminum hood without scratching or denting it.

Where is your Insight located? FLAMBOYANT_SELLER on ebay sells lots of good used parts and he is located in Toledo, OH.

I bought a hood from him some time ago. Came well packed, no damage, via greyhound shipping.

I'm in Toronto Canada but will travel as far as Florida for the right hood. I have had good luck with grey hound as well. Just can't stand looking at my dented hood! The Ebay guy has only an over priced grey one.

Our cars aren't that common and collision parts aren't everywhere, we recently had two different parts cars on here, it didn't take long for parts to be gone. Your best bet will likely be from 'the ebay guy' that you say is overpriced or one from Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market but I don't know if they have Canadian salvage yards listed on that site.

I'd be shocked if Brent doesn't have one in red available. He usually has all body parts in all colors available, even if they're not listed on eBay. I suppose it's possible though.

Send him an email and I'm sure he'll keep an eye out for one at least.

If Brent is FLAMBOYANT_SELLER on ebay then he doesn't have one.
