Default There's some damage to my hood...
A few small dents and some big scratches. I got a quote from a body shop to fix it for $1200. Would it be cheaper to just replace the hood? How much is an OEM hood, or maybe a CF hood?

Default yep, I would definitely do that.
Just wondering what my options are. It would be nice to avoid having the car sit at some body shop for two weeks.

Default That sounds a tad high.
I had small scratches, and dent in my B5 hood. I had it fixed for about $750.

Default It's always good to get a few quotes and.........
keep an eye on the parts. Make sure the guy with the lowest quote isnt saving money by using a cheap aftermarket hood. Some of them are good but some are really bad fit.
Its worth it to spend the money on a factory Audi part.

Default TIME TO GO CF. NO BRAINER.
save 30 lbs FRONT END WEIGHT. common now. if you don't like the look of CF, paint it. if you just replace or repair the original for over a grand you are completely wasting a great opportunity.
