I guess the saying "The tree jumped out in front of me." can be true.

Wait, there are trees in SoCal?

Unless there are partial saw branches on the limbs, they're going to tell you to pound sand.

Yes, it sucks - sorry you're in that situation.

whats your comprehensive deductible? your car insurance should care for that no problem! If you have minor scratches on your hood they may pay for a whole new one and if you don't mind the minor scratches you can pocket the extra cash! I'd like to know how much the roof damage costs... my hood flew up and my roof is dented and have wondered what a repair like that costs. Sorry about your loss, but hit up the insurance company, you should be compensated for that right away.

oh man that sucks.

i think the tree was reaching out to your car cuz it doesnt want you to sell your 350z either...and its arm broke in the process.

btw, if you need side mirrors, you can have mine. but they're blue. let me know.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and jokes

Got an estimate today for $2609 for the repair on the roof, A-pillar trim, mirror and fender. My insurance deductible is $500 so I may try to go after the City/HOA/Landscaping for this, not sure if anything will come out of it.

Thanks Michi for the offer on the mirrors, I think I'll just run the Mines mirrors for now though.

To the guy that asked about the wheels, yes the rear wheels are different than the fronts and no they're not drag radials

I'm thinking of just doing the carbon roof overlay, anyone know if it would cover up the dents pretty good? It might be cheaper than bodywork/paint.

Mastergrade's is like $600 https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=301777
Try to figure out what the cost of repairing just the roof will be and decided. I believe the overlay will pretty much ruin your top anyhow because of the sanding? Not sure if it's required, but I remember seeing pics of a member sanding the top down.

Thanks for the link, I'll probably go ahead and do that and the pillars too since mine are damaged also. I'll try to contact the guys at Asuka tomorrow.

Check back in a couple of hours when you've sobered up, see if it makes more sense.

Unfortunately, Asuka is currently not producing any parts. Andy@Performance would probably be the best source of info as to when Asuka will be making more parts.
