    First, tell Chip to backover your dumb friend a few times. Just kidding. Make it just once. Atleast give them a slap upside the back of the head. Now take a deep breath.

    Do you have a pic of the damage? Some scratches just cannot be removed. That will require repainting.

    Good news. With the color of your car and the appearance of the scratches as scuff marks, a 3 step mechanical buff polish should do the trick. It may not be able to be back to 100% glossy, but it should pass unnoticed by most.

    Go with carbon fiber. It's black, and beneficial.

    Not up on today's prices I would average a cheap grade, plain hood around $350. A better grade plain hood would be in the $400-$500 range. CF hatches are probably around $700.
