Default Fix hood, or new one?

Well, I had a pretty good size dent in the hood from a couple weeks ago (actually, it's two circular dents side by side). I think someone threw a rock at it or something. Anyway, I was waiting for some extra cash to fix it (I hate credit cards) and this last weekend someone pushed me onto the hood and it creased a bit in two places. Now I'm faced with 3 separate spots on the hood that need to be fixed. Does anyone know what a reasonable price to pay for this would be? Would it be cheaper than getting a completely new hood? If not, where's the best place to get a new hood?

Try to contact one of the paintless dent removal places and see if they can fix the spots. If they can't get a new hood. You will be more pleased with the results.

What color is your car? Are you modding it? If so go with a carbon fiber hood. Personally, I would do this if you have black or silver. Aristov300 may still have his CF hood for sale for $300 in the GS classifieds.

My car is silver...I'd prefer to keep the stock hood unless the cost to fix it outweighs the cost to replace it with something better.
