Fixable?

Hey everyone. I came out of Kmart and found this on my hood. some idiot prob backed up into it. I took it to a Paintless Dent Repair but they said they cant do anything. Cheapest autobody is MAACO for $420. Any ideas or where I can get a new hood for less than that? Thanks

That is a bit of bad luck there but something that has struck me is that, that does not look like someone has backed there car up as there is no real lose of paint and no damage to the front bar, looks like someone used the heel of the shoe or boot and stomped on it...

check out some of the wreckers as there may be a rear ended job laying around or check out people who may of bought a f/glass bonnett and wanting to get rid of there stocker

good luck with it all

That or some scumbags toeball, big pickup or SUV with poor visibility and no conscience.
Good an excuse as any for a cool hood though. But I hate that kinda thing happening

If I were you I'd go berserk... but I guess you're not.

No opinions, but I'm sorry to hear/see that...
