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.

Careful heating with a torch can be used to shrink the metal back into shape a little...but that might be beyond repair.
