Hail damage!
I HATE Texas weather!! It hailed (golf ball size) like no other last night in Arlington. I went outside to check on it after it stopped hailing and I only FELT 2 dents...
But I woke up this morning to find over 50 little dents!!
Just filed a claim with insurance. Waiting to see what the damages are..

Man ... that's tough! When I was in Illinois last year, I had hail on my wrx. In the end, they had to change the front hood as that was aluminum, and used paintless dent remover for the rest. Very painful to see your car in that shape

I feel your pain ... have you brought it into a shop for an estimate? I think they counted over a hundred dents on my old car, not including the front hood. Yea, hopefully you can claim insurance.

wow sorry to hear. make sure you report to your insurance and take some pics
They may be able to get rid of it with the paintless dent removal. I had minor stuff in the past they did and its really neat how that works. Hope all works out okay for you.

Massive hail caused some large inventory liquidations for dealers in the Chicagoland area during a summer in the mid 90's. I have had great success with paintless dent removal. Sorry for your loss.

Dude! That sux! I would be sooo crushed if that happened to my car. But yeah, there are places that can pop out dents...I used one on my 350Z when I made a big dent in it backing out of the garage; it only cost me $50.00 to fix it.
