Angry Cheapest source for new oem hood?

We had storms in my area last night and a tree branch fell on my hood. Its dented around the vent. The raised section is dented in. I don't think its repairable.

I know the part out section and ebay are good sources for used but I don't trust shipping one.

The dealer wants $950 + shipping for one that is the wrong color.

Are there any other sources? I do not want a carbon fiber hood.

Try MitsubishiParts.com... not that cheap, but cheaper than 950
