Hood Damage
Ok, get this. You will not believe how STUPID some people are!!!
I offer to drive my two roomates to CiCi's Pizza. As we are going to my car, one of my roomates jumps on my hood trying to slide across it..as in the movies. I go on a rampage and just start yelling at him.
He responds, " It wont do anything"
I look at the hood, (it is night) ..i dont see anything. The next day, as im driving, i see creases in the hood where he slid across it. They almost look like paint blemishes...but they are dents. You cant notice it if u look directly at it, but from the side..its all there. I have not told my roommate of the dents yet. I want to get it the dents appraised first. Im trying not to get too upset about it since I have to live with the guy.
Anyway, how much would a repair like that cost? ..or im i gonna be lucky and get him to buy me a whole new hood? ......would a carbon-fiber hood be cheaper?
...he is just so stupid..

Lame man, lame. Do me a favor and 
your rommie. If its not too bad one of those mobile dent fixers could prolly do it, but keep in mind that the Max hood is pretty flimsy. The damage may return with opening and closing the hood. I rear ended a suv with a rear mounted tire and it folded my hood into a tent. I asked the body shop if they could just bend it back and they said yes, but when I go to close the hood again it will fold. Hope it works out ok and dont forget the
