yeah i would say its time for hood pins. did you smash your windshield as well? i guess the best way is take the plastic cowl that your cushed completely off get in there with a hammer and do your best to straighten it out

That's why I'm keeping my stock hood on. My 91 had the hood fly up and I don't want to go though that again. To do it right you have to cut the cowl panel out and weld a new one in.

Fiberglass hoods=HOODPINS I know of 5 hoods just in my surrounding area that has come up. My brother in law bought a car with one, 5 hours after buying it we put in hood pins.
