A hood can be had for under $50 at a pick-n-pull. But if you can force it down mostly flat, you could consider just getting a set of hood pins (at an autoparts store) to hold it down.

Have you looked under the hood to see if other stuff was bent/broken in the process? Are the lights/trim intact?

Headliner ... if you have a sunroof, it's tougher, but not impossible for DIY. Consider having a shop do this for a couple hundred if you're not comfortable.

If the rest of the car checks out, $400 is worth it.
