My sister's Nissan Versa ( yeah, I know ) got hit with some serious hail in North Carolina. They skinned it and replaced every panel including the roof. Kind of surprising given the value of the car. I'm thinking they may do the same for yours.

Haha nah, I prefer the stock look with a CF lip kit. Part of the refresh after the car is off daily driver status is to replace the lip kit, renew the front bumper, and add a CF rear diffuser. We have some pretty bad roads and parking lots here, and the Z has endured lots of nasty bumps. The recent one nearly tore the bumper off. This outlook is very far away since there are other priorities at the moment.

My 350 took a beating 2 years ago. Glass somehow survived but the hood, roof, hatch, and pillars were trashed. Insurance should cover it but the hood will probably be replaced out right. A good shop should be able to make it so you never even knew. My 350 looked a lot better then when it was new! Good luck with the repairs, hail sucks which is why I have a second vehicle. Any time there is a threat, the Z stays inside.

I am sorry buddy. I am hoping the best for you. That scare the shitz out of me. I video taped a storm here in Tampa yesterday and we had Ice fall here too while it was 80 outside. Nothing like what you had to go through..
I pray for a seedy recovery for you..

You may be surprised at the cost to repair this damage. Apparently the passenger door and rear hatch were not damaged. Usually a car gets totaled from hail when almost all the body panels sustain some serious damage.

Good luck with upcoming repairs. Most reputable shops are used to that kind of work so you should be ok. Hope they go for replacement rather than PDR.
