its all in the eye of the beholder, get the oem hood repaired jsut to keep that oem factor, buy an aftermarket hood that will need work and paint to fit right, get a sunoco or other aftermarket hood because you like the looks better or just throw a flat stock hood on there. Its your car and is ultimatley up to you, although i would ask some autobody shops on quotes to fix the ss hood first

You're going to end up paying a body man either way. Aftermarket hoods for these cars never fit right. With that much damage, I might try and find another OEM one off a car someone's parting.

it can be fixed but will take a lot of work may be better off buying another hood. My brother bought a WS6 hood for his formula from VFNfiberglass and ive never seen an aftermarket hood fit so well
