Selling cars is a lot about putting an image into people's minds.
If you sell a car with a noticeable scratch or dent and don't get it repaired, they will think that other parts of the car are the same too.
I would fix it and make it look flawless before taking pictures and price it slightly higher than you would sell it for.
When people see a high priced car, they think that it is in better condition than low ball prices.

to be quite honest, ive seen some cars for sale where there have been dings, dents, and scratches around various areas. and when i asked the owners of those cars for sale, they'd always give a ridiculous amount. one even said "yeah, i can paint that, but its gonna cost you more".

I would not buy a current generation lexus, bmw, or mercedes that had a huge dent on the hood, unless it's 3 or 4 thousand below offer price. It's too much of a hassel for buyer to get it repaired unless they get a really good offer.

1/2 the legitimate buyers will not even consider it then you are stuck with the bottom feeders. Fix it, feel good about what you are selling and move on.
Only other idea is go to Carmax and see what they will give on the spot then decide for yourself if it is worth repairing but I think it is.

get a carbon fibre hood. (like was mentioned above). It'll make it look more sporty. When they ask about it, say the orginal was damaged, and that you have it, if they want it. If they want the orginal, but not the carbon fibre, resell it. You won't lose much $$, but it'll certainly upgrade the resale value a lot over a damaged hood.
