I took it to my bodyshop and they had a dent wizard guy comeout and he fixed it in about 1 hour.
Last week I drove my just polished up Arctic silver 99 996 C2 to the office. As I don't regularly do so and don't have my own spot in the building, I had it valeted (Yes, Yes, I know).
Much to my horror while washing the p-car on Saturday I noticed that someone dropped something on the car (it could only have been in the valet garage) and dented my hood!
I was actually able to push the dent up from underneath the panel to make it smooth. But in the right light, you can clearly see the deformation. It drives me nuts.
Can a body shop return the ding-labile 996 hood to new condition? Should I consider a carbon-fiber hood replacement? Can they even be painted to match?

I shut the hood on something and dented it out. I went to one of those dent removal guys and took it out perfectly. After that, I took my daily driver to them (it had a lot of door dings) and they took them all out. I could not tell at all.
I'd check with your dealer, or other highline dealers in your area, and ask for suggestions. It's worth a try and much cheaper than a paint shop.
Good luck.

SAme thing i had closed the hood and dented it out. I took it to my bodyshop and they had a dent wizard guy comeout and he fixed it in about 1 hour. Cost about 300.00 but you cannot tell if it ever was dented
An update:
I had a paintless dent removal guy come out yesterday and he did a great job (Matt at Dent Masters <a href="http://www.weundent.com" target="_blank">www.weundent.com</a> *no affiliation!*). You can't tell it was ever dented. All for $125.
Thanks for the tips.

A good friend of mine is a paintless dent repairman in the central Ohio area (Dan the Dentman). I watched him take some dings out of my door and was absolutely amazed at the results. Anybody in Ohio need a referral, let me know. I am "affiliated" in that he is a friend but have no financial interest, but he does do awesome work.
