That type of thing usually drives me nuts.

My wife warned me that I should move my car due to the same problem.

So far no dents.

Dent Wizards should be able to help you out with those dents. Or any paintless dent repair (or PDR) shops.

Dent Wizard is your best bet. those acorns can be treacherous, especially when they hit you off the head !!

AJ,

Sounds like a job for Dent Wizard, but try to negotiate a 'group buy discount (sorry bad joke).' They charge roughly $90 per dent.

dent wizard was my first guess too- however- i have about 10 of those (some barely visible, others more visible) and the price will be high. i might as well get a new hood and paint it and it will run me about $1300 anyway for the whole thing.

i have to talk to the insurance too to see what they say- i am sure they will try to stick me with the deductable ($500), but...

argh. i hate when i complicate my life with stupid things

at least the viper is acorn-proof (fiberglass body)

Alex:

I am fairly certain that dent wizard charges per panel, not per dent. So if they are all on oyur hood you may be able to get away with having them all done for $90. The hardest part of their job is to get the tools inside the panel and that is quite easy on a hood. Please let us know how you make out.
