Default Hood Issues.

Alright so this is the outcome after hitting a tree going about 10-15 mph on a cold winter day. Wondering if anyone knew how this could be fixed?

Pardon the low quality phone pictures!

Front View : Red circle indicates the dent in the center of the hood.


The left side of the bumper, it sticks up unlike the other side


The right side, a tad bit out of place but more or less of how it should set.



ANY SUGGESTIONS?

If you try unbending it paint will chip off. I should be more worried about that big gap you have now.
Remove it and try aligning it back together.
Radiator support was probably ruined too.

Buy a new hood. It's a waste of time to try to straighten cheap parts. If it was a slight tweak or a ding/dent that's one thing, but once flimsy body panels get stretched out of shape like that they're junk.
