A hood is an item as part of a vehicle. It is used to protect the engine from damage during collisions. It is highly advised to keep it in good condition.

Usage

Engine protection

A hood is fitted onto the front of a vehicle to protect the engine from collisions. Once the hood has broken, the engine will begin taking damage, often to catastrophic effect. Keep the hood in good condition at all times.

Having a hood fitted in a multiplayer game allows it to be locked using the car key, preventing other players from scrapping the vehicle for parts. However, players can still smash the window and unlock the vehicle. Therefore, it is highly recommended to store vehicles inside a secure safehouse if possible.

Installing

A hood can be installed and removed with a Wrench at Mechanics level 3 without the possibility of damage. It is not possible to mix types of vehicle parts. For example, a standard class hood can not be fitted onto a sport vehicle.

Repairing

A hood can be repaired with Metal Sheets or Small Metal Sheets and a Propane Torch at Metalworking level 1 and Mechanics level 2. Alternatively, it can be repaired with Screws instead of using a torch, however this will repair significantly less durability and take far more resources to do.
