Also can that hood dent be pulled out or not? It crinkled slightly and took the paint off in those spots. It is right on the seam.

What about the fender can that dent be pulled out or is it junk?

fender is junk, the hood is questionable,w hy??? if the hood is kinked structualy underneath then its garbage, but if its not its fixable all day long
so look underneath the hood and if you see any parts of the hood look like what i descraibed then its junk

i cant tell if your radiator support is bent but your looking at a decent bodyshop charging you $1100 minimum. i would go get an estimate and then see what they are charging for parts, there are a few ebay sellers who will sell painted fenders
