A couple weeks ago us folks in DFW area received hella hail damage. I have already got my truck appraised just under 2K, I pretty much have damage on the hood, roof, and just a little on the front quarter panels, doors and bed. I am wanting to get a new hood, and was wondering if anyone knew if replacing the hood might cost less than repairing the hood with paintless dent repair. The HD hood runs about $265 on GMpartsdirect.com, and a cowl from goodmark (supposedly the best) runs close to $400. I haven't gone to a body shop yet to see what they say just thought I might get some opinions here first. I already have my check just waiting til I have time to get the truck in.

 

My personal opinion...I REALLY LIKE THE HD HOOD!

I would check on shipping from GMPartsDirect.com. The prices are VERY reasonable until you price their "shipping and handling" charges. Check the shipping, then call your local GM dealer just to make sure that you're not getting screwed on the price.

Good luck with the repairs!
