Just went to the dealer to have the hoods swapped or at least that's what I thought. Those who aren't familiar with my story and the hood, you can check it out here, http://www.honda-pilot.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1389&highlight=happy+ending
Turned out they can't just swap the hood, since the hoods are serialized as well. Besides, the demo Pilot with which the swap was to take place actually has quite a few rock chips on it.
So, I was told that I can either have the hood repainted, but will be given more attention to the finish by the bodyshop this time (wasn't that should've been the case in the first damn time??) or they can order a new hood which comes unpainted from the factory, so have that painted.
Which would you guys prefer if those are the only two options given to you? Would it be better to get the new hood and get it painted, instead of having the bodyshop to sand my current hood down to the metal and then repaint it?
Your thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated and valued. Thanks again for your time.
