My OEM hood is suppose to be about $600 to replace and plus whateva is paintin' cost too.
I did buy a Carbon Creations carbon fiber hood..... And fitment is horrible.....
Gaps near the fenders are huge. :o

Yeah my body shop told me that a OEM hood from the dealership is $500.
Aftermarket hoods are about $200-$300....
I think i'll be stickin' wit a OEM hood cause it's stronger.
