Unhappy Look what happened to my hood last night...need help with choosing a new hood. CF?







So last night my brother had some friends over when I came home. of course the drive way was full, so I parked on the street in front of my house, behind one of his friends trucks. which is lifted with big tires. wake up this morning and go out and see this. Figured he probably backed up late last night, and since his truck is so lifted he didnt even feel it, plus my car is black with limo tinted windows, be pretty hard to see at midnight. Luckly my brother friend is super chill and has no problems giving me the money, or his insurance, which ever is easier.

so anotherwards Im in the market for a new hood. I figure I got a few options.

1. Get a brand new 03-06 hood and have it painted and matched perfectly by my local body shop.

2. Get a 07-08 hood and have that put on there

3. Or get a aftermarket CF hood.

I want the cars clean look to remain. Not looking for it to look heavily modded. Besides the HKS exhaust and the tinted windows my car looks stock. But I dont mind the car looking modded as long as it still looks really clean. I just dont want it to look ricey. Is there any CF hood out there for the 350z's that would fit this discription? Whats the most popular hood out there for the 350z? I remember there used to be a gallery on this forum for hoods, but it seems to be gone now. Can some people help me out with some pics?

That really doesn't look to bad, could have been a hell of a lot worse. personally I would go with a CF hood if insurance is going to pay for it. hell it almost looks like you could just get that one repainted if need be. oh and whats with the honda licence plate frame.
