Chances of finding a new hood...
To make a long story short, the ceiling in my garage fell down in the middle of the night... sheetrock fell on top of the hood so I know have several large dents and a deep scratch down to the aluminum. The rest of the car was okay. I was able to polish out the rest minus a small gouge in the mirror and the trim piece along the roofline.
A quick search on ebay has only wrecked hoods. I'm trying to see if it would cost more to source a new Polar white facelift hood or have a body shop repaint the scratched area and pull the dents... What a way to wake up! My wife hates the car and says "it's loud and unsafe."

Not sure where you're located but I see a couple junkyards with brand new OEM hoods (one is in Sun Valley, CA, the other is in Fontana, CA). Looks like they're going for $925+ unpainted. Here's the part number for the C63 hood: A2048801257.
You'd be better off taking the hood to get fixed, although its up to you whether or not you want bondo on your car.

Have you tried www.car-part.com ?
It'll let you search junkyards nationwide. Body panels can be tough to find in perfect condition, but you can usually reach out to the junkyard directly for pictures.

Thanks. I think it's going to be cheaper to get mine fixed. I shouldn't need any bondo, just some big dents that will need to be pulled and a scratch that will need need to be re-painted.
