im thinking of getting a 200 dollar (+240 for shipping) hood that has a lot of dents.
A guy who does cheap body work for me and says he can fix it and paint it for 100 but he's not too sure about working with aluminum. does anyone know if its really difficult to repair a badly dented GT4 hood? |

The black one on EBay? Stay away. It's too far gone. There are several more from the same seller that are in much better shape for only a little bit more. You're going to have to pay your body guy to repair shipping damage and repaint anyway but you'll save a lot more if he doesn't have to do as much work. The framework has to be bent on that hood.
