Default take the bumper off maybe?

It may give you more roome to work with. Theres only 2 hex screws that hold the bumper on(plus the splash gard screws)

as far as the hood goes cheap you can get it almost perfect for $60 from a good paintless dent removal guy. but it looks like the whole front end could use a respray.
