WTF ... im a sad panda...
so I got a sexy Daytona Blue 350z Touring last Wednesday. I love this car...its like my first child. Unfortunately some viet chick driving a QX4 backed into me in a busy parking lot and I had no place to turn to avoid it without hitting someone else myself.
Now my hood has a crease right on the lip which might be a ***** to hammar out so it might have to be replaced completely.... my front bumper has a bunch of scratches and a couple paint chips...and while im not paying for the damages myself the fact that ill be WITHOUT my baby for a week or two is just as bad.
It pisses me off that my first post on this kick *** forum is a sad one
... but I know you guys would understand my pain....

yea... if they have to replace the hood I have to wait for a new one to come in. Im not sure how it is in US but in my province this kinda thing takes a while.
On the bright side ... as you guys said... I may get some new parts.
Oh... I know she is viet cuz naturally I took all her info. Actually my gf was a lot more pissed than I was...

not only that but i went to Ikea this weekend in costa mesa and i had forgotten something in my car and within a 3-5 min gap i come out to find a stupid cart up against my passenger side 
some stupid people just have not respect for other peoples property. 
sorry to hear about the car btw. thats a bummer.

If the crease is bad at all they'll have to replace the hood. As soon as you go to dollying out an aluminum hood it will crack on you. If I were you I'd settle. If the adjuster knows anything he'll quote for a new hood + paint, painting the bumper cover, and blending on the fenders. If he tries to say the hoods repairable tell him it's aluminum and will crack, therefore you'd need a new one and the front painted/blended. When they cut the check have the front bumper cover painted, buy a carbon fiber hood and install it yourself. Then you'll have a nice hood and some extra money in your wallet.
