My Wife had a 2006 WRX, the last gen before they went to steel hoods. Anyhow, a big chunk of semi truck tire hit the front of the hood, right on the edge and made a very sharp dent and crease in the aluminum hood.

Ed spent a good 15 mins on it, and I could not tell it was ever dented after he was finished! This guy is the best I've seen.
