Ouch... sorry to see that, but glad it turned out to be fairly minor and an easy fix. Funny, I was just checking the fit of the silver hood from my parts car on my '99 tonight getting ready to do some painting.

If Cory didn't already have one, I'd be fighting you for that! LOL!

I am so sorry to hear about your your unfortunate accident. That pic of the V shaped hood was like stabbing me in the heart...actually felt pain when I saw it! This is one situation where duct tape just wouldn't be enough I guess! Two years ago while returning from a Niagara wine tour I took my eyes off the road for just a couple of seconds while I took a sip of ice tea. I heard a horrible bang during that two seconds and thought the front wheel had exploded. With my heart racing I pulled to the side of the road expecting to see a missing calliper or broken rotor but everything looked fine. Upon closer inspection I saw something shiny wedged up inside the front drivers wheel well. It was one of those stainless steel buckets for golf balls that people use when they go to the driving range. There just happened to be a driving range directly across the road from the "crash site". I'll never know if it was put in the middle of the road on purpose or just fell off somebody's vehicle but it threw the alignment out on my "02 Boxster S big time. Like you I learned my lesson from that day and never take my eyes off the road now. ps...I kept the shiny but squished golf ball bucket and now use it for a salt bucket during our long winters up here!
