Yeah, hail and high winds dropping a tree or debris are the worst weather events for a car guy. The Evo has lots of aluminum body panels that wont do well in a hail storm. Good luck with your repairs sorry to hear that you have to deal with this.

Appreciate all the feed back. It gives me hope. Maybe, PVD04 can help take/download some pics. I have an appt to go to the the Lowes parking lot for an esimate Saturday. I hear they are cutting people checks on the spot. To address some earlier observations: No, I don't think the Evo>God, but you have to admit it can bestow Super human abilities. Glad to know what "man down" means, but when the Evo goes down/ so goes the Man. Anyway, thanks for all the words of wisdom Evom. I'll up date when I get an estimate.

I wouldn't bring it to a drive through or on the spot appraisal. I used to do that they alway low balled me. I would point damage out and they would ignore me or write up something stupid (bent muffler and they write for $25 mechanical adjustment). I like to do my own mechanical work but I can't do it if they don't reimburse me for for it. In one case I was selling the car, so I chose not to get it repaired and dropped the price to compensate.

I now bring it to my local body shop that I deal with, and have the inspection at the body shop. They go over it with with a fine tooth and comb. I laugh at how much the body shop is able to squeeze out the appraisor and sometime they are able to get existing damage fix

I agree^ Take it to a trusted body shop that is an authorized repair facility for your insurance company, and have them work it out with the appraiser

Update

OK guys. Finally, got the estimate to repair my car from the hail damage. Its going to cost $2,600. Supposedly, they pay the difference, if the body shop finds something they missed. There must be over 100 dents, easily. When the guy finished with the estimate, another major storm hit, scrambling everyone into the Lowe's store from the parking lot. The tent my car was under came crashing down(I had just pulled my car out not 2 seconds before). Mother Nature is stalking me. I can't wait to be able to look at the Evo again without cringing.
