Message First things first, you said you bought the stock hood, go ahead and have it prepped and painted for your car. I dont know your budget, but if you need the custom look, there are stock hoods modified, look up SpeedyZX if you want to see a good example.

And I am not just blatantly talking trash about your hood. I also own the same one, but I am moving back to stock, the fitment I wasnt happy with and there are other small issues.

Unfortunitely the CF hood is probably just trash now. Have fun with it, cut it up, make a glove box insert or a Christmas tree ornament! :) That or just toss it, once the CF gets screwed, it will alsways look that way.

I new windshield will run anywhere from $200-$300 to replace properly. Someone on this thread mentioned $190, if you can find that price, jump on it. I paid $230 for mine here in San Antonio and that was a smoking deal compared to other quotes.

The dent on the car itself is small enough. They should be able to pull it and fill it. However painting it might be difficult. Depending on how sun bathed the silver paint is, they might need to paint a larger section of the roof in order to blend it correctly. I would estimate $300 to do the roof correctly. You can get the stock hood painted at the same time possibly.

In the end, you are looking at $250 for the windshield, $300 for the dent and probably another $200 for the hood. If you got homie hookups locally, obviously you can work something else out. Not sure all that helped, it is hard to quote something in another area, but maybe it gives you some idea.

Good luck with it all. P.S. YOu have been here long enough to know the sh** you would get about the hood, dont even comment on it, just roll with the punches.
