Anyone planning to replace their hood? Are there even aftermarket ones available yet?

Side note: looking for a pristine nocturnal black hood.

Ya eta on your battery yet? Or same boat. Cant order yet?
No update yet. Still waiting. I did get the battery for the cameras. So hopefully when the dealer battery comes it will solve everything. Still driving right now with the replace battery message on the dashboard.

Some hail damage but part wont be available for a few months or more apparently.
That sucks. Have you tried looked into paintless dent removal?
If there isn't any paint damage and just dents, I would recommend PDR first. Try to keep your original paint.
Getting a new hood may not be ideal because you will run into color match problems if you do not blend the fenders and also blend doors because of the clamshell design. Also repaint the front bumper.

It hit it at a weird angle and cant be repaired apparently. I havent ever had issues with paint matching at my autobody.

Mine has the replace battery, I got it a few days ago, I am getting a carly, and will try to register the battery again, to remove the message...
