    Ty, there are some aftermarket products that you can have pretty much glued onto the hood, with a little cut-out, then the whole thing painted. Since you're gonna repaint the hood anyway, you should look into these.

    yeah, that was originally my idea. The body shop I use quoted just over $300. I havent shopped around but it got me thinking (since I read a post a while ago about a stock insert being about $300) why pay that much to repair when I can buy new...or mod it

    IIRC, the CF air induction hood insert was about $300

    hood scoop

    When I bought my carbon fibre insert this spring from user newthings, he had one carbon fibre insert with a WRX scoop left. Not sure if he still has it or wants to sell it, but you could PM him and find out.
