so my perfect flawless Z has hail damage.
 
I'm really upset right now. I have 11 concave dents from a hail storm I was caught in this afternoon. NO paint or clear damage. The dents are perfectly concave. Two of them are concave but so small. I wonder if they'd be too small to actually pull?

5 on the hood. 1 on the drivers side fender a small one on the driver side hatch B pillar, 4 on the roof which one of those is small as well and my glass remains flawless. Though most are larger than the small ones, like I said they are perfectly concave with not too much depth at all. From left to right you don't see them, but from right to left they become visible if you look for it.
Do you guys think I can fix it without going through extensive body repair? Or is this a situation that always warrants expensive repairs?

Sorry to hear that...

I live in the land of Earth Quakes and no hail storms, so I have no idea.

I am only here for Moral support...

Again, sorry.

Thanks shado, bucket..... its upsetting but I'm not trying to trip over it. I never been through this so I figure i'd get some knowledge before flipping my wig.

I could be wrong, but I believe that sexZness and/or 370zproject have had this problem before. You may want to ask one of them.

I really hope so. I'm going in the morning to see what they tell me on paintless dent repair. I'm hoping it will work well on my car. If not? I don't know what my next step will be after that?

sorry to hear. :( PDR should fix it. the aluminum hood is going to be a biotch to push but if the dent is small enough it should be fine.

also they wont pull it unless it's inaccessible from behind the panel. it's a lot easier to push it from behind vs pulling it. :) GL
