Hood Options

[psychotic]

Someone put some nasty dents in my hood (some people are just assholes). Anyways, my options are the following:

New hood ~ 400 with paint

New hood with some sort of scoop in it ~ 500

Paintless dent removal ~ 300, one crease may still be slightly visible.

I just found one of these... I'm not sure what they look like or if they would even work..

Ranger 93-97 & 95-97 Explorer “Race Weight”

What do you guys think???

Ranger and Explorer hoods are not interchangable, even though that site says so.

EE just came out with some new hoods, try them.

Do the fiberglas ones work with the stock hinges / gas struts and hood latch? Or will it be like the dragsters where the whole hood panel lifts off the car (truck in this case) ?

I would probably go with the OEM hood to keep all of the same mounting and latch hardware.

can't find hoods on EE site?

Try emailing John Vanek.

I don't think the EE hoods are available quite yet.

Well what do you guys think i should do... paintless dent removal for 300 (also taking out about 4 other small door dings), or a new hood and i know a guy who could hook me up with some scoops or somethin for like 400?
