i have a huge dent in my hood on my 2001 1.8TQ Avant. I found a place that has a used hood, but it's silver. So I wonder two things:

a) how hard is it to swap out a hood
b) how expensive should it be to strip and paint one?

They're asking $245 for the used silver hood, but I'd have to get it painted black and install it. They also can't ship a hood, so I'd have to drive 3 hours each way to pick it up and I don't know how I'd get it home.

Or does anyone know of where I can get a black hood?

and change hoods when you go to pick it up. Just throw away your old hood.
