Hey my name is Luke from Fortville Indiana just wanted to introduce myself. I just bought a victory red 2013 lt convertible and wanted to see if anyone had a hood or trunk deck lid for sale? It was in a bad hail storm in Kentucky and has some bad hail damage.

welcome...you never know what might show up in the classifieds.

Yes, like Redcoats said, check the classifieds here. You might want to post a wanted ad too. Posts here get picked up by Google. And also, you may want to try these places in your local area. A lot of these cars have unfortunately, ending up in wrecking yards now.

Welcome! Nice looking Camaro. Good luck on the hood and trunk. Did you ever look into a paint-less dent removal shop in your area? Sometimes they aren't too much and they can do miracles. Seen it done.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

You bet, good luck.

When I was looking for a trunk lid a couple years ago, I even started looking at wrecking yards elsewhere. I found them and it seemed like they were running about $200.

And like JEWLD mentioned, PDR is also a great option. They do incredible work on the cheap, without performing invasive procedure on your car. I had it done for a deep dent right at a crease between the passenger door and the rear wheel well, and it only cost $160 - and the guy came to my place of work and did it. You can't tell there was ever a dent there.

I am checking into pdr but the hood has over 40 hail spots and the trunk has about 20 spots. I will go the pdr if I find a reputable shop with a decent price.

There is a guy in Fox River Grove ,IL that has a red hood, Not sure what condition the paint is in though , I bought the bumper cover off him and didnt look at hood. You can search it on marketplace on facebook..
