Also the upper half of the hood is pulled away from the lower half of the hood in the front. Figure that's only going to get worse so I've gotta get this fixed before winter.
Hey. Sorry I'm late to the party, I just found this thread. If you're still running this hood...

The broken edge is fixable. Preferrably with mat and resin, its a little messed up for just a reinforced filler.

My main concern would be the apparent separation at the front. The bond between the two halves may have popped loose from the corner impact, plus age.

My advice is don't trust that hood to not fly apart. If it shakes, get it the heck off there now! You could do a cosmetic fix in the driveway cheap enough if you had some practice, but there are materials to buy and then its still iffy on staying together.

If you want an estimate on pro repair, stop by a boat fixing place or body shop but expect the price to be way beyond what the hood is probably worth. I'd want five hours to fix it, so even without paint theres $250 easy. Nobody will want to mess with it though. Liability. Maybe if you remove and install it? Looks like the general fit may leave a little to be desired anyway, but the other corners could be doctored too if you start 'glassing.
