Have you had your evo hit by hail?

Well I did this weekend while I was in Maryland. I come home to find my evo having little dents all over it. The list of parts that will need to be replaced are the hood, trunk, roof, and 2 quarters, maybe the ps doors. My question is has anyone ever had this work done? Just curious how much it cost you to have all this fixed. All I can say is thank god for full coverage, but deductibles suck.

I got hailed on pretty badly. It cost $3-400 for paintless dent removal.

Knock on wood, I don't know how, but we had a huge hail storm here a month or so ago. 60-80mph winds with hail as big as golf ***** mainly quarter size.

I did not get one dent from the storm....I have no idea how though.

I got caught in a golfball sized hail storm earlier in July. I quickly drove under a bank ATM drive up and stayed put for what felt like forever. I gotta admit it was kinda freaky besides me being pissed that my almost new car might get dented.

When I got out I looked the car over and didn't see any dents or dimples. My wife wasn't so lucky unfortunately and got about a dozen dimples on her truck.

unfortunatly this cannot be fixed with bodywork. I am best friends with an autobody and they will hook me up with a good price. Replacing the roof is going to suck....that is the worst damaged. I kinda wish I could see how bad the storm was for closure. I also luckily am getting a good price on cf hood and trunk so no more dents. I wouldnt wish this luck on my worst enemy.
