Yep, a headlight assembly and buff it out.

Eh. Just bash it back into approximately the right shape and replace the
light. College kid right? He drives what rolls, if he doesn't like it he
can get a job and buy his own car...

I looked there as well. They had a few coupe hoods, but the price was
around $1000 not including shipping. Fenders were around $300. So that’s
$1300 right there without shipping. Then the cost of getting them painted,
which I’m thinking might be around $500.
Now we’re up to $1800 minimum, certainly more.
That’s for a car with 280k on it that I paid $3000 for three years ago.
The numbers just don’t work.
Oh - don’t forget the headlight, too. That’s maybe another $200.
Thanks for the suggestion, however. It was worth a shot. I look a this as
a blessing in disguise, as it will allow me to get the boy into something
a little more modern/safer and that has better gas mileage. He’s driving
about 75 miles a day for the next year to attend school, so I was getting
concerned about costs and the miles adding up on a car that’s approaching
300k.
