Default Need help fixing this?

My idiot friends decided to try and put my hood down with the hood support rod still in and it did this.
Everytime i put up the hood it seems to get a little worse. any suggestions on how i can just make it look better. doesnt have to work well.

No short cut with this one, is your friend Mike Tyson or what??
Best you can do is close the bonnet and gently stand on the high spot and jump/hop slightly if needed.
You sure the car wasn't bumped at the front?

I recommend taking it to a shop with a paintless dent removal specialist. It won't take them long and it'll look better than if you try to do it yourself.

Well I wouldnt suggest jumping on the hood, then again thats just me. Take it to a body shop. See what they can do about it.

Yes if he wants to pay then a PDR specialist is by far better than forcing it back to the original position.
And when a hood looks like that I would jump on it to get the basic shape again and then start with the hammer/doily/slapping file.
