Check out [www.car-part.com](http://www.car-part.com) for a same color hood (and probably hinges) near you.

If the area where the hood latches is not pushed back, all you’d need to do is put it on. Get your boyfriend to help. Doing easily it is a two person job. If the latch area is pushed back, and it won’t take much to not latch properly, then you will probably have to have a body shop pull it out for you.
