possible to fix a hood?

Hey my hood (stock OEM) is bent across the middle and a little up front... Is it possible to fix? my friend said they're like aluminum or i don't remember what and they're impossible to straighten and bondo, he said bondo doesnt stick to them, as well as the fenders, but i have new fenders so nvm that. its IX MR if that makes any difference. anyways just wondering if thats true or not and if it is then maybe there's other ways and mixtures to fix it with or just better off buying a new one, which i could probably find here for cheap, but shipping costs is always a bi***, and dealership prices aren't cool.

i know you cant use PDR on aluminium so i'd assume that massaging this much damage out would be less likely. Carbon fiber hood time!
