Ok, today going to school, a spark plug shot out and did a good number on my hood. Got a nice bump as a momento to scar my car and never forget this day. I got the problem situated, but now when I drive, my vision is obstructed by that nasty bump. For a dinger such as that, any recommendations on how I can fix this? I wouldn't mind so much if it was dented in, but it is dented out. Or am I seriously going to have to cough up another hood in the future and suffer until then? It's about a size of what a spark plug would do, no bigger than a dime in fully diameter in a convex manner.

I understand you wanting to fix this, but your vision is obstructed by that ?
Alluminum is tricky to fix, so take it to a proffesional, it's fixable, and if you shop around, it can be done for a decent price. Take into account that the hood most likely will need to get painted after is fixed. --------------------  |
