Default need a hood...

To make a long story short my grandma backed up onto my hood. my hood is pretty much destroyed. I was wondering if an srt 4 hood would fit or should i just get a carbon fiber one. thanks for any sugestions. And some how she didnt leave a scratch on the front kit. Dont ask me how.

That sucks. It was a truck right?

The SRT hood should work. They have some designed to fit the Neons. The only reason I wouldn't get a carbon fiber hood is because when u sell your car or trade it, it wont keep as much value as a painted hood. Of course it's all preference.

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.
