I was going home ~ 70 mhp last night and a sth looking like a big bold or a AA size battery flew on the me; couldn't maneuver and hit the darn thing.
It left a half inch long but a narrow dent vertically right at the front edge of the hood. It did not nick the edge it self however. Do you know if the dent repair places can repair that ?
