okay...I hate to say it's stupid...and I'm probably going to have ppl telling me I don't love my Evo as much as I should or I don't deserve a car this nice...
I am probably still just as ana.l about stuff like this making sure I'm parked far away from others..etc...
and if I was in your shoes maybe 1.5 years ago, I would have gone crazy over this...but don't sweat the small stuff!
It's nothing money can't fix. Life could be worse. Just move on, there's more things in this world far more significant than this.

Had almost the same thing happen. My trunk got hit by a baseball, so i ordered a cf hood and trunk (good excuse for my parents to allow me to get the hood and trunk). When i got a dent in my passenger door, i had AMS fix it and they matched the paint perfectly.

So sorry to hear that about your hood 1 week after i got my 04 evo 8 I'm driving down the hiway and i see this huge rock flying at my passenger side of the car i try to move out of the way and it SMACK lands on my hood a dimple and 2" scratch on the hood and a broken window to boot so i feel you. I always park my car in 2 or 3 spots so as to not get any door dings on her either and then to fix the hood i got a Siebon TsII carbon fiber and then Siebon tells me they dont have any in stock so i get the OEM hood and guess what i put the hood up to get Oil changed and it cracks on me so get warrentee from Seibon and they will send me the Orignal TSII hood that i wanted to begin with so Im now on my 3rd Hood how bad is that i just want to drive and have some force field to prevent that from happining again But goos luck on the paint match or get a nice C/F it looks good ill have pics for my ride with the TSII soon

However, on a significantly lesser plane, the scratch still bugs the crap out of me.

At least it would get clear coated!

If it's not scratched through to the primer, could you spend your deductable on paintless dent removal, and buff out the scratch? It might not be perfect, but it might be better than a repaint. You won't have to report it to your insurance.
