Well just wanted to give you guys the update on my car(exterior wise). A couple weeks ago hail got me for about $5000. That is the part i think god for a $100 deductible. It did damage to all panels except the plastic. So, the body shop is repairing everything and getting me a brand new hood. I'm hoping to get basically a brand new paint job (minus front and rear bumbers and skirts). The car goes in Monday, but they said about 2 week to fix it all!!!!! i dunno what ill do without my car for 2 weeks 02.gif. Either way, I'll get some before and after pictures here this weekend. Its kinda dirty since i know the shop will wash it down anyways... smile.gif. As soon as the Body Shop is done with it, I'm rushing over to get my Sway Bar fixed. And then my car is back to normal! Oh, my bad, BETTER than normal cool.gif

Good for you.

Now everyone with a fairly low deductible and in need of a new paint job is going to be like:

" hey, is it raining out? ".

"yea, they say the storm is likely to produce golfball size hail"

"alright, i'll pull the cars outside"

lmao.gif

HAHA! It's sad but I started wondering to myself if Las Vegas ever gets any good sized hail.

Well i found out i get the car back today and man i cant wait untill i can see it done!

I stopped by thursday last week and it looked awesome. They promised they would fix my loose windows, AirRam hitting the hood, and paint my calipers while they were working on those areas. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing it out of the primer and in white again smile.gif. I'll post pics as soon as i get it back!
