windshield- insurance should cover it, unless its liability
roof...ewww looks really bad, you COULD take off the interior piece on the roof and bang the dents out, bondo etc.... or take it to a body shop and see what they say

For the money i would toss that hood and see if u could find a same color one (there is only 1.5 billion accord out there 
)
Then i would try to pop the roof by hands (maybe get a paintless dent dude to do it)
Install new window

Check out the local salvage yards to find a hood, as for the roof...there is no way in hell a PDR (paintless dent removal) is going to work on that. If you try to repair it, you'll be using a ton of mud. I would put a new skin on it. I would turn it into your insurance, pay the deductible and get it all done right. Roof skins are a big job and I would not suggest doing it yourself, unless of course you are skilled at body work.

The roof needs a new skin, or a **** load of mud. If this came into the shop I work at, I would write it for a skin without thinking.

That was my intitial thought as well. He's already going to have the windshield out anyway. Maybe he'll get lucky and find the same colored roof skin at the salvage yard.

I think he already put the windshield in. Which is not good cause it'll need to come right back out for the new skin. I personally would have paid my deductible and took it to a shop for repairs, got it all done at once.

You're right, I didn't even notice it was fixed in those bottom pics.
