Well like most of you know i just about finished the exterior project on my car.

So today i take it to get my door poppers installed. I get there and find out that the guy that does that installation isn't going to show up. mad.gif Anyway i start heading to work and as hop onto the freeway and i shift into 3rd gear my hood slams into my windshield! frown.gif I panicked for about half a second until i noticed that i could see the road....(the reason it popped open is b/c we all know that the USDM celi's latches DONT hook on properly to the GT4 hood so i opened it for the guys at the shop as soon as i arrived, before even talking to anyone).. k back to the freeway.. so what seems like forever for me to pull over which was probably only like 1/8-1/4 of a mile i get out to close the hood. Then as i grab the hood i hear and feel my heart, soul, and my hood cracking and popping! frown.gif As i bring it down to eye level there is a HUGE dent in the center of it... *tear comes to eyes* I try to close it cuz now I'm just pissed off! and the hood won't hook on. This was not turning into a good morning. So i force it to close and i just floor it to work. NOT giving a RATS BUTT about anything i didnt care if i messed up my front bumper from all the rocks being kicked up by other cars. I get to work and i am just pissed off and sad at the same time. I pop my hood (which took me awhile) then i start punching the dent out. I got a good portion on it out but there is still more damage to my poor baby.... no shows for me any time soon. I will put pix up later. I dont want to, but i DON'T feel good.

bad luck man. any chance you could get away with some paintless dent repair on that hood of yours?

Actually yeah i did. MOST of it "LOOKS" like paintless dents that need to be popped out. But corner where the fender, windshield and hood meet is kind bad, it popped up. Then the one vent or hole or whatever you wanna call it next to the hood grill/bulge is in pretty bad damage. I guess it can be repaired pretty easily. HOPEFULLY not to expensive. The thing that hurt me the most was the fact that i ONLY had my car for ONE WEEK exactly.

I was already planning on taking my car to import shows and renting a tailer and my godmothers truck to haul it there. frown.gif Now my dreams have been delayed for a while.
