what would you do?

I cant make a decision on what to do.

I recently hit someone at 20mph, my bumper and hood are damaged (not too bad) but to an extent where im gonna have to pay a body shop to repair the damage for $$, or buy a new bumper and hood myself.

Bumper is split down the middle from top of license plate to hood where it pinched the hood back 4".

options ive thought about.

A) Take it to a body shop and have them bend the hood out and patch the bumper. (havnt gotten quoted yet)

B) Take it to a body shop, have them fix the hood, and get an aftermarket front bumper.

C) Go big and save up $$ to buy an FC3s carbon fiber hood and a corksport front lip. (650 for the hood shipped and 500 for the bumper for a combined $1150)

D) Buy a hood in better shape, but a new stock bumper and put both on myself (around $400)

E) let a random guy on the street who came up to me today fix bumper and hood for 400 bux. but very very sketchy and im afraid he'll jack my car.

First I would learn to drive and not hit people JK it happens to the best of us. I would use this as a chance to put a after market bumper on it . I say if something bad happens use it as an excuse to upgrade if you want the carbonfiber hood then this is your best chance to get it

I'm just wondering, where can you get a carbon fiber fc3s hood for $650 shipped? I haven't really found any CF hoods yet.
