I wish you didn't try to bang it out ... call up one of your trusted local paintless dent removal guys...
I had a fist dent on one of my cars in rear fender ... i tried to push it out.. then called a paintless dent repair guy.. he made it almost perfect but told me that he wished I didnt try at it myself because it would have came out 99% perfect... anyhow it was still unoticeable..
Goodluck! and mount a dash cam..

MrMark... thanks for pointing that out.. I had a good feeling this car is made out of aluminum.. the reason I say that is I have seen many new Lexus/Toyota catch rust asap but have seen very old SC's with no rust and I always wondered that this car must be made from aluminum... never got around to checking but got this thought after owning an A8 in the past and they never rust so I was thinking something must be in common.

Makecopies - I'm really sorry about that - just hurts reading about it. I came out of work a couple of years ago and someone has clipped the fender but the dentless guys did a good job. No note no nothing - there's a lot a totally clueless inconsiderate sub-humans out there ..l
That one is a beauty but $2k! Really light though. Have to attached with pins and I don't think it will hold up too well if it set upon. I suppose it depends if it's tinkerbell or tankabell.
Mr. Mark - do know what the OEM hood weighs?

That sucks, man. I feel for you. Some knucklehead keyed my ZDX a while back and the re-paint never quite match or as nice as the original. To rub salt into the wound, someone took the car for a joy ride while it was repaired - yeah, all around sucks.

makecopies, what kind of dent is it? Is it a small dent or a larger cave-in? If it is a cave-in, you might be able to use a plumber's helper (suction cup), wet the hood and pull it out that way. Otherwise I agree, have one of those paintless dent repair magicians do the work.

The hood is aluminum. The roof is nonmetalic. I suspect it may be Alumunum as I doubt it's fiberglass
The rest of body panels are steel.
Aluminum panel are normally replaced rather than repaired.
My Ford Expedition had aluminum hood and tailgates.
