I destroyed my hood today :(
I was parking my truck infront of my house and I ran the bumper up onto the hood. It's a rockcrawler truck on 37" tires and I had both dogs in the bed so i was totally distracted. Of coarse the truck is fine but my hood is totalled. I'm not sure if i should buy a junk yard hood and paint it or have the hood fixed.

I would go for a junkyard hood preferable the same color so the underside matches. You could also just have it Bondoed and sprayed.

Roundel held up nicely. On the positive side, it is only the hood, not the hood, lights, rad support, grilles................

The plastic BMW piece actually did come loose and is broken. The hood is gouged soo deep i think a replacement is my only option. I'll take it to a Body shop on monday and see what they quote me. However yes i am very glad the truck wasn't any lower cause it would have had no trouble caving the front grill and radiator in. Still it crushes me because i am always soo carefull with this car and have never been in a wreck. Yet I bash two of my own vehicles together....

look on the bright side, at least you don't have to fix the truck.
i've crashed one of my cars into the other once, quite a humbling experience.
lol the truck doesn't have a bit of damage. Does anyone know if I can use a 1995 325i hood?
