Had an accident... need to make some decisions.

Ok, I was in an accident last week. Bambi ran out in front of my car like she was on a suicide mission and I killed her. Below are the results.







And Bambi herself...



Anyway, I need to decide whether to get a carbon fiber hood or whether to just let them put a white OEM one back on. Opinions?

OMG, Thumper's gonna be pissed.
I say get a kit while you're at it, if it's possible. And, since you have the black projectors; an altezza grill and a CF hood would match up nicely.
All up to you, though. Your taste.

My dilemma is that I don't plan on keeping this car more than a few years. When I do sell it, not having a stock hood would make it kind of hard to put it back to stock.

Oh, we've got coyotes, too - just nowhere near as big of a problem as the deer are.

I'd go for the stock hood. Just my opinion. But, there is always the option to trade with someone if you did go with a CF hood. I love that look on white.

Get the carbon fiber and then paint it white so it can match.

I'd get the CF hood. You could either paint it or not. It will work both ways because you have the dark headlights.
