In order to archive to improve impact absorbing efficiency and lower production costs, a vehicular hood structure comprising an outer member configuring a vehicle body outer side surface of a hood and an inner member disposed at the inner side of the outer member, wherein the vehicular hood structure includes a front end portion inner member configuring a front end portion of the inner member, a rear end portion inner member configuring a rear end portion of the inner member, and a front-rear direction inner member that is disposed along the vehicle body front-rear direction between the front end portion configuration member and the rear end portion configuration member and which bridges the front end portion configuration member and the rear end portion configuration member is provided.

Vehicular hood structure and vehicle body front portion structure

A first pipeand a second pipeare connected using connectorsandso that at least one of the connectorsandis located in a through-hole. In this way, since the through-holeis filled in by at least one of the connectorsand, the gap between the connectorsandand the edge of the through-holecan be considerably reduced. It is, therefore, possible to prevent hot air from moving to the front of a panelthrough the gap between connectorsandand the edge of the through-hole

Front end structure of vehicle preventing short-circuit of cooling air
