If there are no creases, then I'd check out paintless dent repair. They specialize in just such kind of dings and dents. Essentially, they massage out the stresses in the metal.

You could always order a CF Hood from John, if he gets them out the door soon enough for you (John?).

We have them ready to order. Nobody is just ordering and we cant afford to make one just to make one. Talk about things being tight!

But DPR is a great way to go if you dont like carbon fiber. I forgot all about it.

+ rep to you good sir for suggesting us!

Sorry to hear about that. Lexington got hit pretty hard yesterday, but Louisville saw some of the worst rainfall I've ever heard of. 6"+ in the span of one hour!

OH NO that sucks! This is one of my biggest fears living here in Dallas, everytime we get severe storm warnings, I'm watching the radar/weather programs constantly, then drive to my local Shell station and hide in the car wash when the hail gets close - I don't have covered parking at my apt unfortunately.

Honestly, I wouldn't even bother trying to fix them. I'd take advantage and go through John for a roof overlay and new hood.

Word. My 370 got hit with ~1200 in hail damage a week before I moved into a garaged house. I still haven't fixed it. Checking out my options i guess.

I'd like to make a comment about your girlfriend...dump her now as her BS reaction is a sign being given to you right now of things to expect all the time from her if you ever tie the knot.

Get it straight with the bitch right now when it comes to your cars or else you will forever be fighting about it in the future when you do anything or have to fix anything.
