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

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
