Default crease in hood with pic

ok i finally took a pic of my crease in my hood. tell me what you all think. you think dentless paint repair or is it beyond that? i just want to be smooth and even enough to put a matte black racing stripe down the middle.

Excuse for an aftermarket hood if you ask me.

I agree. Excuse for a new hood. Going across that bend will make repair nearly impossible by dent doctor type outfits.

Did you try contacting your insurance? If they cover it.....you just got yourself a nice check to go hood shopping with

I would say no, I don't think paintless dentrepair could fix that, but I could be wrong.

Dentless guy could get it pretty close if he's good, but it won't be perfect.
It will be hard for him to get behind properly, since the hood brace won't allow a long tool to go that far at the edge.

Good luck man.





PS: A new hood retails for $740, aftermarket ones are cheaper.

THat is going to be a no go on the paintless dent removal. Anytime the metal is creased like that it wont return back without deformity. You can pop some dent swith slight creases but the one you have unfortunately doesnt fall into that category. Aftermarket hood time...................
