I had a cougar scratch the **** out of my hood 2 weeks after i got the car. I've had it a year now and Still have not fixed it. I wanted to take it to a custom body shop and have some kind of hood scoop put in. I've seen a few carbon fiber hoods for $500 and $1200. Any Suggestions??

 

a cougar?!? as in the big cat? where the hell were you!?

APC makes a sweet carbon fiber hood with a "W" type pattern in it. fiber images makes a stock replacement carbon fiber one, too. those two are probably going to be the least expensive for you, both running about $500-600. (and the APC one can be had from autozone or pep boys)

 

yep the BIG cat. I live in texas about an hour south of dallas, out in the county. They are around, i'll try to get a pic on here asap. It looks like it just got up on my car to look around and when it came down, it draged its paw alongthe side of my hood, happened on two different nights in a row, I'm come out the next morning and there would be a new set of marks. I was pissed. Thanks for the help!!

 

Isn't this sort of thing covered by your insurance with no deductable under 'acts of god'?

 

Holy crap. Cougars.... Well I must say thata first for me. You you have a damage deduct. I think my insurage covers it for the 250.

 

unfortunatly my insurance company SUX and wants a $500 deductible, I cought a rock the other day and put a huge crack in my windshield and they wanted 500 bucks to fix it, i can get a brand new one for 200.

 

hey thats ok... i had a goat get on top of my hood 2nd day.... dont even ask why a goat crawled on top of my car.... stupid country bumpkins.....
