Default Rusty hood!

HI
My Protege 5 oem hood is pretty rusted, so I'd like to replace it. It's hard to find a black one with wreckers (and I heard rust was a problem in general for these models). Are aftermarket hoods (painted by body shop) any good or should I get one from the wreckers and have it painted? Any recommended brands or tips??
Thanks

Search for Keystone body parts. Keystone is an aftermarket manufacturer of quality repair body panels. If they have a hood it might actually be better than the original Mazda hood. Any body shop should be able to help you with that.

Good luck!
