Help I Crashed My 99 Maxima -hood Bent

Hey Guys Whats Up I Crashed My 99 Max Into A 2004 Gx470, I Replaced His Bumper Cover And Painted It For $800 My Pocket (no Claim). Now My Car Has A Fold On The H00d On The Passenger Side, I Flattened It Out As Much As I Could With 2 X 4 Wood Sticks Under The Hood And Pressing Down. It Looks Good But There Is Still A Slight Fold Near The Edge . How Can I Get It Out? Under The Hood There Is A Tiny Crack In The Crumble Zone Spot.

Is A Replcement Necessary? The Paint Is A Fortune, A Guy Wants 450.00 Including Hood And Paint. The Guy I Used For Lexus?

Sorry This Is Too Long

Please Help

Get a carbon fiber hood.

Forgot to add. Once a Maxima hood is bent like that its trash. Maybe not the 1st or second time you try to close the hood, but eventually it will bend just from closing it.

Yeah I would get a good CF hood in your position, it would end up costing less than an OEM + paint.

I can sell you my stock hood but I'm in northen VA. You will still need a paint job regardless.

Dude just go out and get a cf hood. I think you will do it eventually so why not do it now. Just my .02. Good luck. Oh and btw if u want cheaper labor go to another shop the dealer ships are expensive as heck.
