But you should get it fixed, that's what insurance is for...

an issue that has come up with insurance is that they will price you a quote and everything will go thru at a great rate. THEN they will ask for proof of prior insurance and look up your record etc, then 2 months later your rates will go up see www.oneshopinsurance.com they have a complete list of current insurance companies price and those who give rebates to their clients

With the deductible and all, I doubt it would be worth a claim, becasue any insurance company will most likey be able to provide a quote to fix that for under 500$

personally I think that the OEM fitment of a painted aluminum hood outweighs the junk fitment of a junk cf painted hood. Its not like aluminum is heavy either... just my .02
