Cat scratch fever :(

Well, as the title says, the cats at my house apparently decided to have an epileptic fit on my hood last night. There are 4 roughly 6" scratches down to the metal on the hood, not including the many other small scratches. Anyway, I could get it repaired for a couple hundred or I could buy another hood. More expensive I know, however I was already planning on doing this upgrade. Can anyone recommend a hood that will fit the 09 yaris. thanks in advance.

Another thing, will 07 and 08 hoods fit the 09 yaris? I know the bumper is different but I think it stops before the hood.

AFAIK the 09 hood is the same. I'm pretty sure it is just the bumper/headlights that are different.

What type on hood are you looking for? CF. fiberglass, or OEM? For all but the last hit up Cali_Yaris "Garm" he should be able to help you out

That sucks!

Thankfully I keep my cat inside and she is front-declawed... Hell, she won't ever even be loose in my car!

Your cats could help pay for damage by being supper. (I cann't believe you said that!). They say cat is the other dark meat. (I really cann't believe you said that!).

PS: I have never eaten cat. Try reading "They Were Expendable" if you wonder where I got the idea of cat for supper. At least the cat did not suffer. A 38 or 45 caliber pistol round is over kill for a cat. I do not remember the movie version with John Wayne covering that part of the story.
