Theres a pic of it in my garage. On the hood, managed to bang it up..was touching the grille. Havent really tried to do anything about it, but im not sure if ill be able to or not. Bug deflector used to cover it up, a small hood dent and a couple of cracks in the grille from a deer somewhere between 35 and 40 mph...what a beast. My wife hit one with her cobalt and got an estimated $1000 repair. What a pos. haha

It looks like someone already tried messing with it. If a stud welder was used along with a slide hammer or whatever, it could probably be made to look better at least. More likely than not... just replace.

Cowl hood? lol. "But honey, my hood I have now is ruined!"

Your best bet would most likely be a stud puller and some *cough* Bondo *cough*

Someone was totally in there before. The right paintless dent removal guy could probably help it, but to make it right you still need to paint the nose. It would prob be most cost effective just to have a body shop do the whole thing. Or just leave it and put a bra on there! JK
