Default Horrible Hail Damage

I recently had some pretty horrible hail damage. I had to just sit there and watch my car get crapped on by mother nature. My hood looks like an egg carton. Anyway, has anyone ever had hail damage and gotten it fixed when they use that paintless dent removal or whatever it's called??? Just curious how it turns out. Sorry no pics, it's too sad to look at.

hood might not be fixable, the painless/paintless dent removal needs to have access to the bare metal, and depending on where the dents are there is the support ribs in the hood which might not get full access... the price u pay for the dent removal, u might as well get a used stock hood that someone doesnt need after they went to a CF hood. or u can get a CF or FRP hood yourself-

the roof is another story. i think you can get full access to the roof's sheet metal once you remove the entire roof head liner-

sorry to hear about the hail... we never get that stuff here in so cal.. must have been heart breaking to watch it happen.


good luck with the fix.
