ACCIDENT...need opinions

DAMMIT!! Well heres what happen...while my better half was driving in the storm this last week here in the bay area. A freakin cheap *** hub cap on the freeway flying around like a chicken with its head cut off bounced around and smashes into 4 cars including ours. this is the 3rd occurance involvin this car and I just dam that it might be cursed. Well luckily all and most of the damage was to the grill and hood. I was hopeing to just fix the hood and not replace it but though about a CF one.

Should I....

a-get it fix thur insurance(500 deductible)
b-get a CF and blacked out grill(something i was planning on doing 700est)
c-get rid of the car

C only if you hated the car anyways.

Considering B is only $200 more than A, now might be a good time to do it.
