    Default Hood Stickers

    I just had the hood replaced on my '04 LS... while they did a really nice job of it, I noticed that it doesn't have any of the "usual" stickers on the underside. I also don't remember if it should have any. Can someone tell me if there should be stickers on the underside of the hood?

    I'm being a tad anal here, I know, but I'd like the car to look right... even under the hood.

    Probably will only be a 'Dot R' sticker on the inside. No VIN stickers on replacement parts.

    The replacement hood I got had a Mazda R sticker. Like Sammm said R-DOT. No vin, or anything else. Then I got another hood and it was used from someone, it had their vin and info on it.

    I've got a box full of tire manufacturer, oil company, etc., etc., you can have to fulfill your sticker needs.

    Just an FYI, our '02 has 4 Stickers under the hood.

    They gave me the third degree just getting key copies made... I can't imagine what fiery hoops someone would have to jump through to get VIN stickers reprinted!

    If they have a part number on them you should be able to order them.

    Are you worried about the eventual re-sale price of your Miata because of the replacement hood?

    Sure... that's part of it. Though I really don't plan to sell it any time soon.

    It's partly just me being anal and wanting it to look "origional".

    I suppose the old hood is long gone? The body shop should've recovered the labels from there.

    Yeah, but I'm betting they don't peel off to well.

    I called Town North and they said they could order them for me. Should be here around Wednesday.

    I know everyone has been dying to know the outcome...

    I got three of the stickers from Mazda today... now just have to see what it takes to get a VIN sticker made...

    Stickers should come off much easier if you can heat them... a nice hot hair dryer will usually do the trick. Place them on wax paper after you remove them.

    We used to do that years ago at a computer store I worked at with warranty stickers on computers when they came in for upgrades/service. Worked like a champ!

    Just don't use a heat gun! You'll burn the stickers up.
