A little too late now but a car cover for next years storm would be a good investment

dont know if a cover would have helped.. live in a apt. so a garage isnt a option. thats why i pay insurance so getting the whole car painted for free.. had plenty of chips on the hood from rocks.. could have been alot worse.

I doubt any car cover will protect against flying debis from a hurricane. The high speed wind would just pull the cover off (if even just one side), even if it was tied down.

See if a detailer can buff most of that out, then pocket the money for mods

At least you are ok

It's heartbreaking to see your car like that. Nothing a good paint job can restore. Time to go custom color on your IS

Any damage to your car is bad but good thing it wasn't worse than that.

Good thing nothing worse happened indeed and you survived the storm

so maybe time to think a 3m clear paint protection would be an idea
