New OEM hood from Subaru - $400 well hell if thats what an OEM one costs you definately can get a CF one and save the paint money too. unless you want to paint over it.

The insurance companies find every way to lower the prices. My lil honda got some front end damage, and the ended up paying $1600 but the repairs if I had the shop do it were about $2700 based on two estimates I got. I have come to learn that Insurance companies dont go by anyones estimate but the adjusters. No matter what you have to say about it.

There is a company in Vegas that warehouses all the CF hoods for most cars, I recently emailed them to purchase one from ebay and asked if I could pick it up instead of paying the shipping. What they said was they don't normally do that but if I called ahead they would arrange pickup and save the shipping.

I know this wont work if you dont know someone in or are able to visit Vegas, but its something to think about.
