Dented front of hood, repair or replace?

I got into a minor fender bender in my Evo 8 and dented the hood in two places above the

Anyone been in a similar accident? Is this repairable? Or do I have to replace the entire hood?

if the dents are not really deep you can get them out, find a good body shop and they might do it, there is no need for a new hood if they are not that deep

dents in hoods are usually not very repairable. if it has to be filled at all it won't hold very well and alot of times the filling will pop out due to the forces on the hood while moving and from openning/closing
