long story short, roomate back out on me.

The front of the hood is bent and the paint seems to be cracking. The picture was taken at an angle, so it doesn't look too bad... but it's pretty fugly.



And then we have exhibit b... I have no idea wtf this is. The grill looks sturdy, just a few scuff marks that I might be willing to look past depending on my mood .



*You guys think the hoods going to need to be replaced?
*As for that cracked intercooler-looking thing, wth is it and how much are we looking at?

 

tto

 

oh that sucks man..i know how you feel

 

Wow that sucks, I only seen hoods replaced and not repaired. I could be worng. Maybe it's time for a carbon fiber hood and data systems grill

 

Sorry to see that

 

carbon fiber hood time!

 

intercooler-looking thing is your grill.
go to riversideinfiniti and look for their parts section, or just go ahead and call them for pricing.
as for the hood... take it to your local body shop and see if they can fix it/how much they can fix it for.
if it's too expensive, might as well get a new one/get a carbon fiber one.

 

thanks for the reply guys... I'm gonna go get some quotes and see whats-up. I understand that the grille is jacked up, but whats the purpose of the cracked part of the grille?? Looks more like a functional part than aesthetics.

 

Sounds like a great excuse for a brand new CF hood and sweet new grille.

Congrats!
