dented hood!

so i was driving home from school today down this road called 1960 in houston texas and i saw somthing bounch into the middle of the street then almost go under my car but then ends up hitting my hood, it wasnt a hard hit so i didnt think it was anything like a rock so i got home and looked at it and now theres a dimes sized dent/crease in the front of my hood, does anyone have any ideas on what i can do with this for cheap or like does anyone know someone thats selling a silver hood or a carbon fiber hood for cheap, somthing used but in good condition, i dont even want to drive the car it makes me sick just too look at.

The hood is aluminum so you need a TIG welder to fix it.

When aluminum is bent preety bad, they have to replace the whole peice: probably not your case.

Go to different body shops and get quotes. Eventually choose a reputable shop. I personally choose quality of work even though it might be a bit more expensive.
