Default Got caught in hail storm, hood dimpled

Got caught in a hail storm (nickle size) on my way home this evening.
No damage except the hood has dozens of minor dimples.
Thinking about the possibilities:
-Paintless dent repair.
-AEV heat reduction hood.
-Swap the hood for another used one.
-Linex the hood.
Other?

Looks like its time for an AEV hood.

Same thing happened to me. Went with the AEV hood. The hood was cheaper than the OEM hood painted so I ended up making a little cash once all was said and done.

Is the AEV hood hail proof?

I believe you have to make it hail proof. Linex it
