1987 TII hood
Well I think I am going to look at a 87 TII hood this week for my car but I was wondering if they were steel or aluminum in 87. Can anyone tell me?

Most were aluminum, but some were steel.

It is also very common to see non OEM body parts (read the car was in an accident and the body shop used the cheapest hood they could find, which was made of very thin steel) on cars that have been in accidents.
