Default pros and cons?

My 2013 gt repainted hood from 3 years ago is starting to bubble really bad again. Im thinking about just replacing hood at this point even though i love the design but i have no choice. These two are my choices

I just replaced mine for the hood corrosion with the Cervini's Stalker Fiberglass hood. I do know they thanked my for buying a quality hood at the Body shop that painted it.

How much did it cost to have the hood painted? I think I will get an aftermarket hood for the corrosion issue on mine at some point.

It was $450 plus I had them paint the top of the fenders since I had rock chips galore for another $200. I also had some damage from a rock that cost another $450 to repair and paint the front bumper

I've had the hood on my '06GT redone several times because of the bubbling up. I'm just living with it.

but im not sure about the material thats made from. What are the pros and cons of fiberglass reinforced plastics?

I thought I replied to ur question but apparently I forgot to submit. Anyway, my hood is the elenor hood. I have two colors on the hood. They blended mine down the fenders as should any good paint shop. My total for the job was 1,212.00 and this was 2012. I have had many people compliment the paint job. You can see in my pic how I had the hood painted. I didnt do the strip I did something a bit different. I basically checked reviews and made some phone calls on my quest to find a good paint shop.

I know some have tried to get ford to warranty the hoods and maybe a handful of guys have gotten it done. My suggestion has always been to swap it out but i understand everyones financial situation is different.

What have you done??
