u know u might not have to replace that... the paint doesn't appear to be broken or any thing if u find a good body man he might be able to pull that out without haveing to paint the hood saving u a ton of cash.
That hood is shot, you can get the dents out, but it will always have waves in it.

I don't know how much the CF ones weigh, but I took my stock hood off the other day and its not that heavy. I thought it would weigh more
