They are arranging to have it fixed on Monday. Not sure I trust 'their' guys, but whats the worst that can happen? They screw it up completely? Then they buy a new hood I guess.

The hood of that car is cursed anyway. A harmonic balancer fell off the Mercedes in front of me on the freeway one day, flew up and smacked right into the old hood on this very same car. An inch higher and it would have easily passed through my windshield and killed me. So after being splattered with oil from the Mercedes and coming to my senses, I chase the guy down. He thinks I'm some weirdo with an oil splattered car and refuses to pull over! So eventually, his car is completely drained of oil, so he has no choice! Friggen finally got him to realize what had happened. He offered me $1000 at the scene to not have it go through insurance. I denied that and took it to the shop. Ended up costing over $3000 for a new hood.

I have lots of stories like this.
