The other thing is that my car repair is already a week behind, because of waiting for the hood to arrive. I'm afraid to ask how long it will be to get another one.
Eventually, after the hood was very worn or damaged, my plan was to paint it to match the body. However, I had hoped to get several years of enjoyment out of the carbon fiber look. The reason that this hood is so expensive, is because it is made of carbon fiber. If I knew that I was going to paint it, I probably could have bought a fiberglass hood for much less money.
Also, prep work and painting do not come cheap at this body shop. This will be hundreds of dollars that I did not anticipate spending on the hood at this time.

However, good luck with the hood.
