Here I am feeling like crap when I activate the wiper blades with the hood open and it scrapes the paint off the hood edge. I don't feel so bad now that I see this, lol. Good luck with the repair, it is an easy swap if that makes you feel better.

I assume #1 was what happened to your old Integra It's not quite as bad as it looks. Luckily the hood didn't actually get noticibly damaged, and it stopped just short of hitting the windshield which would've definitely cracked it. The only damage was the hinges and the prop rod which got pretty bent and those are easy fixes. I just found it funny because it was the first time I'd ever gotten to work on the Integra in a garage.

It's only metal. Get a BFH out and smack them back into shape.

Next time pull your car in when you want to work on it with the hood up.

Back it in when you want to show it off

Haha yep, I was glad to see that when we moved in. And if you look below it, you can see my ITR mid pipe I have yet to install.
