Why even screw with all that Jason? If it got damaged in shipping, the shipping company is responsible. You need to go to UPS or FedEx and file a claim for the damage. They're usually pretty good about covering it, but it will take a while. No matter what you do to that hood, the damage is going to show. I can't really tell what's wrong from the pics, but if it's enough to be noticeable, go back and file a claim.
