Well...I went a rear ended a truck the other day...fortunately I was only going about 10MPH. Bent the hood and dented the front bumper cover as well as pealed the paint. I know I'll need a new hood. Can these bumpers be heated and returned to proper shape? Can teh average Joe do this or does it take some special tools? Any help appreciated. Also maybe a link to some who sells new/used covers

Duh... now how did I forget that...she's a 91 Firebird. Looking kinda like a wounded goose right now...
Go w/ a GM part if still available. Some aftermarket parts are OEM overruns, some are poor reproductions.
