Hey guys, i recently got a GT4 front end but the hood came badly dented. Is it worth fixing or should i just get another hood?
      What do you guys think? its really bad. I am fighting with the shipping company right now to claim the damages. |

the problem with aluminum is that is expands easily, so those dents you see, they are strechted, and when you try to pop them back, they'll strech a little more, and you'll find yourself in a battle hitting both side without much improvement.
Aluminum parts once heavily dented are replaced instead of repair, but if repair is done / attempted, it better be at hands of someone who knows exactly what is doing. --------------------  |
