HOOD STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize enhancement of safety of a pedestrian and enhancement of an impact absorption property at front collision by positively bending a hood outer panel 3 at a predetermined position in a hood structure for a vehicle provided with the hood outer panel 3 and a panel-like hood reinforcement 5 arranged on a back surface of the hood outer panel 3 in which a bending part 17 extending in a vehicle width direction is integrally formed on the hood reinforcement 5 so as to be bent in a vehicle longitudinal direction at the front collision. SOLUTION: A bulge part 13 and the bending part 17 are suitably arranged such that a front end of the bulge part 13 of the hood outer panel 3 and the bending part 17 of the hood reinforcement 5 are almost in contact with each other in plan vision.
