Default Big dent

Ok so I'm a college baseball player, and at one of my recent summer league games a ball went out of play into the parking lot and hit smack in the middle of my hood. It's big in area but not in depth if that makes any sense? You can only see it at an angle.

Posting this to see if there a cheap way to pull it out. If not I'll just leave the battle scar.

Sounds like a good excuse to buy either an expedition style hood, or a louver kit!!

Depends on the dent..

you *might* be able to just use the cheap pop-a-dent tricks out there with the canned air, suction cups etc... or take it to a paintless dent repair shop and see what they would charge. You might also be able to pop it out gently from inside the hood.


But if all else fails...


cut that sucker open and install some louvers!

If I were in your position, no question I would go right for the Poison Spyder JK louver kit
