hood problem tonight at the club please give opinions

Ok I went out to the dance club tonight was fun like always then we all went back home and changed and all meet at a party then One of my friends who is a girl goes and tells me that she saw some guys trying to pimp my car like ti was theirs to the girls and that they were sitting on my hood. So I go out and look and ofcourse the is a size 48 A$$ print in the middle of my hood, and this is a little too much to just pop out. So I am gonna call insurace tomorrow and my buddy is checking on Chop Shop (I know it bad but he knows some) and also whole sale price on a Carbon Fiber hood for my car so do you guys think I should just go honest and get the thing fixed at a body shop or take the money and buy a carbon fiber hood, don't really want to go with the chop shop option. Well i had to vent but I would also like your opinions on what would look best on My Car. Thanks for your input guys and girls, and try not to let this happen to you!

Stay far away from a Chop Shop, because if you do it and for some reason the law finds out about it, you will be going for a ride to jail. Do the honest thing, go though your insurance or do it out of pocket.

All I wish for anyone who runs a Chop Shop, will be picking up soap off the prison shower floor, lets see how cool they are then. I can't stand theves, they ruin your day, jack up your insurance, and have a brain the size of a corn kernel.

Yeah, my friend with a Lancer brought his car to a club here last weekend and came back out to find that someone had jacked his DVD player...Somehow they popped open the hood, disabled the alarm, opened the doors, and took it right out. That's why I never bring my car anywhere like that...

And I think CF looks good on red. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

if you do the chop-shop, remember, karma (not car-ma) is a b!tch.

ok checked my deductable its $50 so..... Ohh and also the average price for replacing a hood is $1050 at a body shop. I might get it replaced but also I am leaving for college on tuesday so I don't have time. So I might get the money and just replace it later. or if I can live with it just pocket the cash. I checked and I can get a CF hood shipped to my door for $555 but my parents don't want one on the car so yah. I don't really know what I am going to do now though. I know for sure I am not going the chopshop option I never even really thought about it, it was just an idea my friend had personally I like to stay on the legal side of the law. So any opinions on what to do please give me them

I would get it repaired (legally) but also make sure that they do a good... no perfect job and if they mess up at all make sure you keep of their asses trust me I know.. Not matter where you go people always try and take advantage of you.. except here!
