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. ;)Quote:

OK, OK... I don't need a VIN sticker... but the other three would be nice.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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...
I would suppose an act of Congress would be in order! ;)Quote:

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.
