Subaru: WRX Hood Damaged At Construction Site: How Much Does New One Cost?

A new hood, spraying, fitting but no scoop
cost me £945 = approx $1500.
Those are Subaru main dealer prices.
Hood alone approx $750 unsprayed.
These are UK prices and hurt
but at least I had a guarantee of
a good job and some come back if not happy.
I didn't bother phoning round for those reasons
and it wasn't an insurance job.
YMMV.
I had a bottle chucked at mine.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your bad day...I just has the rear bumper
cover on my WRX repainted after some inconsiderate SOB scraped it up
(several 12" long & 1/4" wide gouges) while parked at work. Ah well, at
least it was just the car damaged.

A new (unpainted) hood for an '02 WRX would be about $450US from a
dealer, not sure what the factory scoop goes for (?$50US?). Guessing
that hood/scoop painting and installation would cost around $600US, so
somewhere around $1100US total.

Thanks for the info. Sorry about the bottle thrown at yours. Sheesh.
Bunch of savages in this world.

Thanks for the info. I will probably find out what's going to happen
on Monday. Should be interesting.

SubaruParts shows the hood to list at $499.99, the scoop to list at $168.23,
and (if they were broken) the splitter parts under the scoop go for $49 and
$31.02. All of that is unpainted. Figure $400 or more for the paint -
actually, probably $800+ as they will want to blend the paint into the two
front quarter panels... so I am guessing a grand total of $1500 or more...
fun fun fun!

What was the damage on getting the rear bumper retouched & repainted? I
trashed mine trying to cram a sofa inside my Outback.

Hi Jay,

It cost me $359US out the door to remove, smooth out gouges, repaint, &
reattach the bumper cover. It wasn't the least expensive quote I got,
but I went on local recommendations & and am very satisfied with the
quality.

Hey, you're with Palomar College? I attended the San Marcos campus back
in the late 80's before eventually heading off to the UofA...currently
in Prescott, AZ.

while you're getting a new scoop, get yourself an STi scoop.

it's a bit bigger, gives a bit more airflow, and looks cooler to boot!
they're probably substantially the same price.
