A vehicle hood includes a hood outer panel and a panel-shaped hood
reinforcement which is arranged at the underside of the hood outer panel.
The hood reinforcement includes an integral bend which extends in the
vehicle width direction to allow the hood reinforcement to bend in the
front to rear direction of the vehicle in a frontal crash. A bulge formed
in the hood outer panel and the bend of the hood reinforcement are so
arranged that the front end of the bulge and the bend substantially
coincide with each other when viewed in plan.
