I got hit with some debris on the highway and my hood is scratched up pretty badly. Checked with a body shop and they want $550 to refinish it. I thought it would be money well-spent if I went for the CF hood because it costs about the same. Looking for thoughts, opinions, and a reasonable offers. I am in SoCal so those of you who are in SoCal selling VIS CF hoods, I would be picking up rather than paying the $150+ shipping fees. 
Thanks.
Thanks.

Trinity and Trader-NAS has some smoking deals on VIS and Seibon hoods
White5 has a Seibon hood and Joe (Trinity) has VIS
both apparently line up really well

Prices aren't that great...
I might have to just refinish.

I had the VIS hood from Trinity, it fit perfectly and I got a lot of compliments on it

Well for sure you can't get one for $550
well you can get a a seibon hood for $450 and VIS for $475 but the shipping is $100-$150 then install is like another $100
