Small hood dent/scratch
 
So I was on the expressway when someone must of chucked up a loose rock and hit my hood...... :brokenheart: Shes my baby and I'm really mad! Anyways the scratch is about 3/4 an inch long and the dent is around the size of a quarter, sorry I don't have a good picture of it but does anyone know how much something like this would cost to fix?

Done properly, $300-$500. How much is the deductible on your insurance?

If a PDR person can get the dent out and you're good with touch up paint ...... maybe a couple hundred dollars.


Yep, like they say, the first one is always the most painful....:(

That means that you are saving enough money on your insurance payments that you should be able to cover the ~$500 for the repair... right? :iono:

The first one does suck though.

As painful as it may be to stare at that ding every day, I would just leave it alone. For me, fixing paint chips right away is important only for steel parts that may rust. Since the hood is aluminum, I would just wait until you collect a whole bunch of them before getting it fixed. Because, you know, that as soon as you get the chip fixed, you're going to get another one...

That is a really good point! maybe I can pop out the dent on my own and live with the scratch

Being aluminum; the hood will not "pop out" the same as a steel hood. Be careful.

Perhaps because it's more convenient for him to spend 25 seconds on his keyboard in hopes that someone with a useful point of view might respond.

You know, as opposed to your post.

Depending where it is located, what about going with the Velox hood louver kit? Dent = Upgrade

His only job on this forum is to shitpost everywhere. Check any of his prior posts and I'd estimate about 5% useful factor lol
