they sell brand new display shell on ebay for $100, but its somewhat difficult to replace since the glass is glued to the shell. look at ifixit guild to replacing the lcd and decide for your self. Also i think its possible to pound it flat given that you first completely taken it apart first and have just that aluminum panel. My guess if that you lay it on a nice clean smoothh flat surface such as glass that wont break and flatten it out with a rubber mallet. lol
