I have a 2005 Civic Coupe. I have several stone chips in my hood and a few of them have started to rust because I wasn't diligent enough with the touchup paint.I have been asking bodyshops, and they all say they have to strip the whole hood, level off where the chips are, then repaint the entire thing. The prices they were quoting me seemed rather high compared to what I was expecting.

I started looking around on the net and found some carbon fiber hoods that were actually cheaper than having my current one fixed. I assume they come unpainted, so that would add to the cost, but it seems like this might be a good time to begin customizing my car. Also, most of the hoods I've seen are for 00-04, and then 06-07, and it seems like the 05 model was forgotten! Can someone please tell me where to find aftermarket hoods for my year, or do the 04s fit the 05 model? Also, how expensive is it to get an aftermarket hood installed professionally, or is it a pretty easy DIY job?
