Hail from Hell - Page 2

Damn that’s some damage! I had a hail claim on my pickup that was $5000 a few years back and all the repairs turned out great. Your damage takes it to a whole other level, good luck!

Ouch. I'd want them to total it if that was mine. Gonna be hard to PDR without cracking the paint on some of those large dents. I hope you know a really, really good PDR guy. Don't use someone that doesn't have plenty of credentials. I've seen cars like that come out looking pretty terrible after a bad PDR repair.

Just get the rear window replaced. Mother Nature gave you the "golf ball" dimple. You should get better fuel economy now.

Tsk-tsk, seems the good old paint color wars are still on in 2021

OP, sorry about the offtopic posts. It's painful to look at your beauty in this state, hope she will get fixed up to your standards. Best of luck.

I saw the thread title and knew it was either OK or TX. Sorry to see that.

This. Fix the windows, leave the dents. But slap a "Storm Chaser" sticker on it. Tell everyone storms turned out to be more challenging than Mustangs ever were.

Wow! It looked like it rained bowling balls on that thing. I wonder how even a house would fair in hail that severe.

I have a '19 too but am not that attached to the front end. Sorry about the damage. Shadow gray looks good too.

I would be praying they totaled it. You want that car back after it's repaired??

With the value so high on cars right now I doubt the insurance company will be eager to total it

I lived in Alberta for 42 years, lost two cars to hail, a third was repaired. Both that were written off were the same or worse than your pics (one of them was new) The estimate for that one drew the line when the labour got too high. All body panel that could be replaced needed to be, but the hours required for the roof and pillars was too high. Loved that car

To the OP, if you’re anything like me (love my cars and tend to them with a discerning eye), you do not want this car back. They are never the same. Hoping for your sake they either have come a long way in repair techniques, or it’s a write off.
