NO question about it, time is of the essence for a good solution. Metal has a "memory" and much of it is thermal.. Dry ice will help pop out a dent that's shallow. It contracts the metal, and makes it "pop" back into shape. Pushing / rubbing from the inside can help as well. There are inexpensive dent pulling tools available at pep boys / autozone type of shops, or you can go to paintless dent repair.... for me, on a beemer, I'd have a pro do it, then you've got some legal recourse if it's not done properly, and I assure you it'll be cheaper than replacing a hood.
