An assembly includes a vehicle hood outer panel and hood panel stretching mechanism coupled to the hood panel. The stretching mechanism includes a first hood attachment portion affixed to the panel at a first location, and a second hood attachment portion affixed to the panel at a second location. A first arm has a first end coupled to the first attachment portion, and a second end opposite the first end. A second arm has a first end coupled to the second attachment portion, and a second end opposite the first end. The mechanism is structured so that simultaneous movement of the first arm second end and the second arm second end toward a line extending between the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion causes movement of the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion to increase a spacing between the hood attachment portions.
