Since my hood got damaged from a branch falling on it I'm thinking about just replacing it and going with a Raptor style hood. What I want to know is how much did it cost you guys to buy one, get it painted and installed.

umm.. sure..
Call you local body shops, and see if they have worked on a raptor hood.
For a "clean ready to paint" hood, that is about right, but "most" aftermarket hoods, need extra attention, sanding, and priming, before its ready to paint.
I have seen SO many poor aftermarket hoods, i woudl never go with anything other than a oem piece, or buy one off somebody elses car, that i like the look of.

the cost of the hood, whatever that is(suncoastcreations.com)deal with them directly+$100 shipping. mine cost ~500 to paint, but they put the pins in as well,
if you're not willing to pay for top of the line paint job right now, wait, its not worth wasting money on a crap job.- \"So you have something to look at when you\'re talking to \'em\" - <br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=296916\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=296916</a>Comment

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
