Anyone else recieve the golf-ball hail to the hood, roof, and rear like I got last night? Thank god for insurance

 

I was out in the storm too... I don't have a Z yet, but I didn't have any damage to my car, thank goodness... sorry to hear about yours... how bad was it?

 

at least 20 dings on the hood alone. 10 or more on the roof and 2 or 3 huge dings on the hatch

 

damn that sux ***... I am definitly getting a garage before I get a Z... I am new to texas and that was my first Texas hail storm... I see what everyone is talking about now... no wonder insurance is thru the damn roof down here!

 

I got lucky, got the car in the garage right as the big stuff came down.

Do you think you will be able to get em taken out at a paint dent repair shop?

I definately feel for you. I could have been in the same situation if I had been a few minutes slower.

 

No hail damage here on my car. Thank goodness for a garage. But if any one is looking for a good price on a new Nissan, be sure to check out Courtesy Nissan, every car has slight hail damage, some were missed, but no 350Z were damaged. Also if your hood is the aluminum hood and it's damaged, most insurance companys will replace it, b/c aluminum can't be fixed to OE specs.

 

does the 350z have an aluminum hood?

 

I'm pretty sure they do, but I can find out when I get back to work Monday. I say this b/c the hood it lightweight.

 

yes, it's aluminum, that's why it's like a feather.

 

Yep, Rob is right. The hood is aluminum. Sorry about the damage bro.

 

Well it going into the shop on Monday to get fixed. They are going to fix the front bumper where I hit a curb when parking when I first got the car. They are going to repaint the bumper and add some more coats on + a hardener since the paint is so flimsy in the 350Z. I have alot chipped off the front just from driving on the freeway.

 

Where are you taking the car? I am looking for a good body shop. Mine got backed into.

 

I had my car repaired at a shop in lubbock. I am moving to dallas in May.

 

Did you have your hood repaired or replaced?

 

I drove right around it and never got rain, hail or anyhting. I didnt know about it until my buddy called me 30 minutes after I had dropped him off. To see if I had gotten hail on it. Five minutes after I left his two corvettes got pummeled. One being a convertible. Bad thing, sorry for those who didnt make it.
