Default Hood hinge bent

Does anyone know how hard it is to replace a hood hinge? I hit a deer on the back roads of my house and it cracked the headlight plastic peace, knocked the bumper a little crooked, and bent my passenger side hood hinge. Actually, for hitting a deer it did a lot less damage then i thought it would. I looked and it seems the hinge is connected to the inner fender? I tried bending it back but I can't replicate that curve to get the hood to sit exactly how it should. Should i try calling salvage yards for the piece? is it hard to take off/replace?

Thanks

i think you might have to remove the fender to take the hinge out and replace it
i'm not 100% sure
hope that helps

I think I will to. Do you think this should be very hard if I take my time and am very careful?

Still looking for some hood hinges. Any color will do single I could always rattle can the hinges if they are not daytona blue.

I just don't know where to get any...and I don't want to call a dealer.

Look for OEM parts online or contact a vendor here. If you still cant find them , you will HAVE to go to the dealership.
