well thanks for the feedback, on saturday my car will see the adjuster and get an estimate for the damage. hopefully i find a good bodyshop to fix it and can make out with a little extra mod money.

I do have a garage but have a lot of stuff in there to park it in there also here where i live this kind of stuff is very spontaneous. well ill let you all know how it goes when i get it fixed.

carefully read your auto insurance policy and see if weather damage, like hail, is a risk insured against. good luck bro, i would be hurtin if that happened to my baby.

so i got my car quoted my insurance in the hail damage, and so far there saying it will be totaled, the damages add up to 8500. So im waiting on a call from them for the final amount and then i need to make a decision to either get the cash and let them total it out or give up the car be free of my payment, or just tell them to drop the claim...... im totally bummed and not sure on what to do, they said i need a hood, fenders, trunk, moldings and roof repair.

Im thinking on taking what they offer and total it out, then take it to one of those hail dent repair shops, have them pull out as much as possible, then repair the roof and paint it black, pocket the rest of the money and leave it like that but i dont know, what are your guys opinions?

looks more like you drove through Compton with a red shirt on lol, but sorry about the damage, that sucks. I was at work one day and I heard that bad storms were coming through with a possibility of hail, I was paranoid all day because I didn't want this to happen to me.

Dude, you are wrong for that, but it was funny nonetheless!! To the OP, looking at the back windshield, looks like you were in a firefight!!! Hope you can get it all fixed. Time to upgrade with a CF roof, hood and trunk!!

Im still waiting to hear back from the insurance company and see what they tell me, i think im gonna keep it, fix it and hope to mod it a little after i see what they offer me.

Also i checked on the back windshield and man that thing goes for 800 bucks, never thought a piece of glass would be so much, lol well ill keep with the updates.
