I hit a deer doing about 35, luckily had just waxed my car (2 hours before) and the beast slid right off before hitting my windshield (else my passenger and I would've been toast... geeze) I got lucky!

My question is my hood is totalled and the front bumper has little to very minor damage.

Before I get some quotes Monday anyone have experience with what a somewhat reasonable estimate would be for an 03 OEM Silver hood would be for parts/labor?

If not I will just wait until Monday but I'd like to consider my options over the weekend some... Trying to decide if I should take this opp to order a CF hood and get it painted...

Thanks!

 

i still have my chrome silver hood up for sale pm me

 

carbon fibahhh!!!!

 

CF will be cheaper then buying an OEM hood and prep/paint.

 

Isn't your car insured?

 

Of course. With a 500 deductible.

 

pay the deductible and don't go cf it fades and it costs money to clear coat , it will run you more than 500 for labor + paint , I had a similar situation and it was around 2k without insurance so I just paid the 1000 deductable and It came out sweet.

 

OP, how about some pics of the damage. I think you should go with the CF without paint, IMO.

 

buy a cf hood and then paint it. GL
