Its $300 and I'm not sure if i should get it or not. To be honest I'm not even sure if I can afford to buy it or not. I'm trying to get my own car on the road right now but I know he wants it soooo bad.. Please give me your opinion. Feel free to ask questions from me to give a better answer!!

I totally understand. My boyfriend wants a new snowboard that will cost about $300. He bought me a brand new one two years ago, and I soo owe him, I'm just not sure I can afford it. I suggest that if it is not possible to buy the whole thing, get him a gift card or something with as much money as you can afford on it. That way you are helping him get it, but not making yourself broke in the mean time. Try a Visa Gift Card or something. It is not all of the hood, but it is a damn good start, and it would be better than him getting something he will not use at all. This way, he is only partially paying for his hood. He needs to contribute a little, it is his car, and yours is not even running. Idea, tell him you will buy the hood, but he fixes your car for Christmas. That will do one of two things, either get your car fixed, or get him to stop asking for the hood. Either way, you win! See, I just fixed it for you. Hope it works! ( I am laughing right now, sorry)

OK my question to you is how long have you been with your boyfriend''
If he truly cares about you, he would rather have you rolling in your own ride then helping him try and pimp out his car
Hey its his car let him do what he wants to do with it ( so let him put his money into it)
Although it is a nice though, but if he knows you might not even be able to afford it. Sounds like you are being used''
Just remember boyfriends come and go, you are the one that has to get your own money for your own ride. So your needs should come first

Check out one at an auto salvage yard for the same year and make as his car(it would be much cheaper than a new one). You would really be lucky to find the same color. Check out the price of a paint job at an auto body shop. After you determine if these 2 suggestions will be affordable, then go for it, but if not, then tell him to buy his own damn hood! Don't let him, nor don't put yourself under that kind of pressure, to secure your love in your relationship. Hopefully he is not that shallow!

If your boyfriend wants a hood for his car so bad, then he should save and purchase it himself. Especially if its out of your budget range. He most likely knows how much money you typically make, and should make your life easier by pairing up his wish list with your current budget. Let him know upfront that it is more money than you have to spend, but at the same time you can let him know you put a lot of time/thought into the gift that you will get him.

OK, so lets say you buy him this gift, that you know you cant afford, now here you are with out a car of your own, so now what? you will have to rely on him taking you where you need to go? no thanks!! just come out and tell him that you cant afford a gift like that right now, that you are going to use what xtra money you may have to get a car of your own. and what kind of boyfriend is he anyway, one for telling you what he wants like that and 2 asking for something that cost so much money. what you could do is tell him is as soon as he plants you a money tree, then you will get it for him.

A gift to a boyfriend should be personal and special. A car part is not something that will have a special meaning to your relationship. Sounds like he needs the money to fix his car and it's his way of getting you to give it to him.

that is what the car is worth, so the price is good. I owned a toyota corolla myself, and that thing was amazing on gas and reliablity, but just to amke sure, get a carfax report and have a mechanic look at it rather pay 50 dollars and find out that it has a problem, then pay 8k and figure otu that the car is junk

Hi if you cannot afford it please spare your money for your own car. Look after your backyard before others. I have seen so many cases in Judge Judy suing for money claim to be a gift when its not. Hope you make the right decision. Because we love them we sacrifice our own needs but think about it the last verdict is yours no one else.

Be honest with him, and say, you know that I am trying to get my car on the road, Don't let him use you like that. Say I cant' afford it. And do not let him pressure you to buy it, you do not owe him anything, if anything he owes you! (smile)

If you know your pockets can't handle it, then don't theres no need for you to get in debt for that and then explain to him why or tell him you'll go half on it wit him for his birthday. If he's a good man he wouldn't care what you bought as long as it came from you =>
