I work for a large insurance company, and I would say for you to not go through your insurance for a scratch. True, your comprehensive coverage would cover it, but you run the risk of significantly increasing your rates as a result. Insurance companies (like the one I work for) look at past claims for individual companies and see what people are willing to report. If it seems like something small and the insurance company pays somewhat large (lets say, to repaint your entire car for a scratch) your rates will definitely go up.
I would say just take care of the scratch, and don't report it.

I'm sorry to hear about that -- the person who did that need needs to definetly be taught a lesson.
Since they like defacing property I would say to teach them a lesson get a knife and cut a huge mark on whoever's forehead as a day to day reminder to respect other peoples stuff.
Stupidity is no excuse - and the sad thing is these people will never change. The best option is to scar them for life or just exterminate them. Yeah some will argue its cruel and unfair but there is always that invisible "line" and when you cross it -- you deserve what you get.

quite the opposite -- whoever did this had NO *****. I can understand how doing this makes someone feel good or cool.

Too bad you don't live around here, I'd do it for you for cost (about $45).
You can actually fill and blend a scratch like that, but it takes some talent.

Well I went to a family friends place and he said it would cost 300-350 to repaint and repair the hood (it has a small dent on the rotor accent in the hood, right on the crease to but its old). He kinda made up my mind, I'm now looking for a CF hood, he said he'd put it on to if I decided that route. Ok now off to ebay!!! lol.

make sure you get a CF hood thats actually lighter than stock. Alot of the cheapie cf bits are very high resin content and heavier than their aluminum counter parts.

people have no respect for other people's belongings. 4 days ago, someone slashed the tires of my dad's car and my aunt's car on the same night. last night, someone through a huge brick through someone's windshield next door. i don't know if it's vandalize other people's property week or if people are just plain stupid.

So far looking on Ebay these hoods cost the same as if I went through a normal website, kinda disapointed in that
I seen a VIS VS CF Hood that looks sick and has the style I wanna have. But its more than having the hood repainted grrr.. but then again I can just save up and just friggin' upgrade and use this as a excuse lol.. I'll just hide the price from my family who are anti-car modification hehe.

I zoom therefore I am.
I get the urge to kill condors when I see bird crap on my 8. I can just imagine the fire in your eyes when you saw the scratch.
At least you'll be getting a sweet CF hood out of the hassle.

I got keyed pretty bad. My insurance said that it comes under different coverage. (comprehensive) It only cost me $100 and did not go on my record. My deductable is $500.
Total cost was around $1000. (insurance paid)
