WANTED 2021 OEM Hood in Dark Moss w/ Telluride lettering

[DarkMossJustin]

My poor baby.

I currently need a replacement hood for my 2021 Kia Telluride in Dark Moss.

Anyone have an extra/spare/saved hood in Dark Moss to sell?

Should I just put in an order with my local Kia dealership's Parts Department?

Ouch, so sorry to hear! No way to repair? Being as frugal as I am, my first inclination would be to scavenge junkyards in your area for a vehicle that matches and then get it painted to match. I realize this is a long shot. Finding one that is already matching and available.....hmm, that's going to be tough due to this cars short run. Hate to ask what the dealer is even asking these days. Perhaps another online source that sells dealer parts? Shipping would be a killer though.

I would have to guess its the "I let the wife drive it" special. Dont ask me how I know.

Was your teenage driving your Telly when it met this condition?

A teen at least can still be molded.... whereas a wife... get my drift?

 

[Retired-TELCO]

Loud and clear!!!!!

I'd just drive it as is and be thankful it still looks better than the 23 front end.

I have a idea..... how about trying find a gloss Black hood. That would be kind of cool.

 

[DarkMossJustin]

Y'all are hilarious. I'm enjoying all the speculation because it's frankly more interesting than what really happened.

 

[Retired-TELCO]

justin,

Your Telluride will be back to it's glory one day. But it is nice to have friends lighten your spirits a little.

How's the bodywork quest coming along?

 

[DarkMossJustin]

There wasn't enough time to get the parts/paint/fixed before this week so....

Everything's getting fixed after Thanksgiving

A new OEM hood will arrive at some point in time and need to be painted my favorite color: Dark Moss.

In the meantime, I drove family members up to the mountains for a Thanksgiving vacation.

The Telly, even with cosmetic front-end damage, is a champ in cold weather, so I'm driving around in Sport Mode and Snow Mode and teaching my nephew how to snowboard and compare and track paw prints (bear/lion/dog/human) in the snow, fun uncle stuff, etc.

My wiper fluid lines froze again, so I had to let my Telly sit in the sun while I mixed in the sub-zero stuff. All good now.

Only worrying thing is the crack in the windshield, but that will also be replaced when I get back to Ventura County after the weekend.

Will post updates when she's all fixed up.

Happy Thanksgiving to all !!

Are your wiper fluid lines freezing because of the hood damage?
