Almost free new AMG hood for non-C63 W204 coupe
I have ordered a C63 look aluminum hood ($600) for my 2013 C250 Sport Coupe.It arrived from XPO shipping damaged - the company immediately send me another, stating keep the damaged one.
The second was treated with care and arrived perfect.
The damaged hood is available for "Pick Up" Only.....I am in Tucson AZ.
I do not have the vehicle or the time to pack it - load it and ship to you.
Thus if anyone is interested in it as slightly damaged - take to a body shop and have 3 dents pulled and lines straightened.
Hoods Free - But I am asking $75 for this post and even hassling with it. Gets me a steak dinner...
Figure it's a great thing for someone to take to body shop and fix and install.
The hood is not in any shipping container or packing box. I cant meet, have a vehicle to load it into, nor willing to have picked up and shipped due to not being in packed status. I do not want to pack it or be responsible to any further shipping damage to anyone from my residence.
I have plenty of pictures attached. Fitment was 2011-14 Sport Coupe for sure.

Wish you could ship but I understand the hassle, plus shipping would be just as expensive, factored in with repairing, painting, blah blah. Good luck with selling!

Haven't installed the new hood yet. Cars with wife in MS and I'm in AZ. Will be done in a few months.
The purchase was on EBay - Seller is Carpartswholesale. They are US based and 24/7
Great product but their shipping company XPO sucks. They are disputing the damage claim but the EBay seller shipped another one quickly and with one email of pictures and explanation. They also said keep the old one. It's quite possible that XPO doesn't reimburse the claim to the seller. I got a denied claim adjustment notice from XPO that they are disputing it with seller. I'm left out of it.....

2013 W204 Sport Coupe
I'm not a poser but did purchase many other AMG C63 parts as of late to put on my 2013 Sport Coupe that has the AMG Pkg. I am very pleased with the quality of parts and the decision to do so. I'd like to share a few pics of the parts only. They will go on the car in a few months. Here is what I bought and have ready to installed.
1) Real CF Upper Console Cup Holder area trim (My favorite mod, expensive as hell $350 - but had to call them and tell them how pleased I was. $350
2) Etched AMG Door latch covers (Not stickers - Covers nasty metal door latch)
3) OEM AMG Wheel Center Caps (Not the cheap stickers - raised emblem and OEM $$$$) $200
4) AMG Square Quad Exhaust (Beautiful, ordered from US. To scared to order from China) $450+
5) Carbon Fiber Med Finned Quad Diffuser
6) C63 AMG Aluminum hood $500+
7) Depo LED Headlight upgrade (These look like OEM and can't wait to install) $450+

Where did you get this done? looks amazingly high quality, not cheap at all and would love to do this around my command button in my 2010 C300 Sport, as the black plastic around the command knob has gotten some wear throughout its years.

2013 W204 Sport Coupe
MACarbon(.com) This is real carbon fiber vs. the cheap CF film crap on eBay. I questioned paying so much for such a small part, but after I got it - the quality is amazing. I emailed them and told them my satisfaction in their shipping care and quality of part. They even threw in a cleaning cloth and care CF kit, including bottle of cleaner. The owner of company replied - stating that's their top C63 selling part.
I spent more $$$ on bigger parts BUT I couldn't help but to like this mod the best.
Install took 1 minute. Youtube - Flathead screwdriver wrapped with duct tape to pop up front tabs and slid OEM plastic panel off. The CF new one went right on and snapped in place. BEAUTIFUL
Ill provide pics

Last Call for Hood - Goin in dumpster otherwise
Last call on this hood. I cant believe I'm thinking of throwing it in the dumpster. I need the space and the fix would be approx. $150 at a body shop and then sit till I needed it if ever.
Don't want to fix it for $150 the post and sell it for $200 and ship costs of $75 and then have the buyer question the body shop work. I also don't have vehicles to take to UPS for shipping out.
What a pain and shame to have to rid myself of this very nice hood with small damage that's a great project for someone that can pick it up.
I simply asked for a small trivial amount that I'll even reduce to $50 bucks for just the hassle and search, keeping it in my living room and to help get into your pick up vehicle.

Sure, I'll rent a truck for a day from Lowes for $50
Then get my upstairs neighbor to help me load it into a truck.
I'll then drive to UPS and have them help me with it inside (I'm sure they will...LOL
Then have them charge me for packing and boxes to wrap and tape and box and pallet.
Send you the hood and shipping will be $75 + packaging costs.
Then have it damaged when you get it -
Then we argue over what was originally damaged vs new damage by UPS
Then dispute with UPS that the item wasn't damaged already
Then have you mad and refuse to pay me
I have to return the truck to Lowes
Pay me what? $50 bucks LOL
No thanks......

Not a stupid Q at all, in fact I still don't know if it fits my Coupe (Wife has Car in MS). I was concerned with it fitting a Coup and wanted Coupe in the EBay search for that reason. I will not confirm that it fits your car, but I'll share the EBay auction info with you so you can see the fitment vehicles and listing. You can even call the company and ask.... Let me know, if you determine it fits - then I certainly think a trip down from Scottsdale is definitely worth it.
