I rear ended someone a few weeks ago and the body shop sed they can fix the repairs for about 900. The hood got bent up on one side about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch. The other side was fine, just alittle off on the body gap. After I dropped it off at the shop they noticed that the actual subframe under the hood got bent. They said they can fix it but theres a chance that the hood might lose its shape again and flex up again.

1. Is this tru?
2. If so, how long of a time period would it take before you can see a difference.

I wanted to know because I told him to try to fix it, but if it is going to lose its shape again in less then a year I might as well get money together and buy a carbon hood.

Thanks

 

Buy a junkyard hood, or a hood thats straight? It'll cost a lot less than $900, and then you can paint it whatever you want.

I forgot the mention its a hood for a Jdm front DC

 

if the hood was the only damage and it cost 900 to repair...
don't be stupid.... just get another hood.

 

It was 900 to fix the hood the headlights and the bumper. I bought new headlights and the hood is the only thing im having an issue with. I have a few car events coming up real soon and I wanted the car back for them. But I guess if after a few months I dont wanna risk having a missed up hood that will change shapes ill get a cf hood.
