    There is a seam on the front of the hoods. The bottom 6 inches or so seems to be put on separately. This part goes around the blinker lights. Can this part be taken off easily for replacement. The hood on my truck looks like someone put a rope through the front holes to pull the truck. It could be straightened but it will be a real pain and never perfect. I have another hood that has a wave in the top, but this panel is perfect. How hard would it be to swap pieces?

    It would be easier to fix the wave in the other hood and just swap hoods...
