Can my hood be repaired?

Curious if anyone knows if the hood on a M4 zcp can be repaired to remove a small dent. It’s a very light hood

Any good body shop should be able to repair the dent. The hood is aluminum, so make sure that the body shop has experience dealing with aluminum repair. Aluminum sheet metal is becoming more common on cars so this shouldn't be a problem. My 2000 S2000 had an aluminum hood, but thankfully, never needed repair.

Do you have photos of the damaged area? I recently got my car repaired at local paintless dent repair shop here in Baltimore. The results are great, I can't even tell if there was a dent. Their site is https://www.arsdentrepair.com
Check out what they can do and I am sure you can find something similar in your area
Best of luck!

no probs

I repaired my GTS carbon hood. So an orginal m4 hood should not be a challange for any repair shop.
