Just cruising on my way home, listen to Tom Lykus when all of a sudden a piece of plywood come out from under a truck a nails my hood. I hit my brakes and tried to avoid it but it happened too fast.... A nice little dent and some scratches....

Anyone know the cost difference between a OEM Suby hood and a aftermarket carbon fiber? maybe it's a sign....

 

alot and alot..sorry to hear about that dude...

 

oem hood itself is about 444 bucks and 500+ for scoop and everything i believe. Carbon fiber is like...5-600...

 

Any idea if the scoop I have now will fit on a carbon fiber hood?

 

dam 580 -- I had a Civic for 8 years and never had anything hit it, I have had my wrx for almost 1 year and I have already replaced the windshield and now the hood....

 

Just an FYI, my insurance rep told me if the object is airborn, it is a collision deductable and DOES NOT count against your insurance rates. However, if it wasn't airborn, you're SOL. I have Mercury btw

good luck with a replacement

 

you are right -- it was airborne...
I work and am insured with allstate --luckily my comp deductible is only $100

 

If it's a direct stock replacement, I'd think it should. It all depends on the hood though. Will you be painting the CF hood or leaving it black, if you leave it black, you need a CF STi scoop.

 

Akira...mercury is bomb. I've got nothing but good to say about them...though I wish my insurance was about $30 a month cheaper...$170 a month hurts.

Stock replacements are not cheap. If you can salvage your hood scoop that will help some.

CF is cheaper but if you plan to paint it you might as well go with the stock.

Talk to your insurance. See if they are willing to give you a check for the cost of a factory hood. Might be able to get the CF and paint it or get a CF and a new toy.

 

I believe you can ask any insurance for a check after getting an estimate.


OMA,

yeah, mercury rocks.:banana: my ins is about 270ish a month
