My old hood was bent up pretty good. Apparently some bastard forgot there was no hood latch :lmfao:


Before:

It's hard to see the bends in a photo and with the car being white, but just look at the body line between the hood and fender.

The hinges are still bent a little (Not sure which way they need to be bent back)

Before I bought it, I thought it was good paint, but turns out the paint peeled off and it's just factory primer. Unfortunately, the primer was even coming off. Fortunately, the hood is aluminum :)

The old hood was bent. The hood flew up on the previous owner, leaving bends and creases all over. The new hood is perfectly straight, and I only paid $80 for it.
