Does it really matter if a hood is scratched or not? Other than the asthetics, it doesn't affect anything else does it? Might be able to save yourself a couple of bucks by keeping the old one until it actually breaks.

If the interior is velvet and the scratches are reflecting light AND you are really picky about your picture quality, then yes, the hood has to be replaced.

If the scratches reflect the way you handle your gear, then the next hood will be scratched too. i suggest you don't bother.

You don't need to replace it... that's one of the main advantage of using the hood anyway—to protect the front element and the lens.
