So far nobody mentioned why it was impossible to remove all the dents from the hood. That is because the hood is aluminum and close to impossible in most cases to remove dents compare to steel. I heard this from my old man who used to sell on avg three NSXs a year for Honda/Acura back in the 90's.

I think the detailer should buy the OP nothing less than a new OEM aluminum hood from Subaru, an aftermarket hood just spells potential fitment nightmare and more animosity.
