Unhappy Golfballs Size Hail vs. My Evo...

And the Evo lost... It just hailed here in the Co Spring and banged up my car pretty bad. The hood looks like it took the most damage but the roof and trunk have some good size dents. The wing & all windows are fine. Knock on wood. I'll be able to take a better look at it tomorrow and post some pics...
Any good CF hood sales right now.

I would pay the deduct.. Cheaper then a new hood and body work.

It hailed here the other day. I stood at the window the whole time watching my car. LOL. I need a garage.

Yeah... Its a pain. Trying not to let it get to me. Lets an outragous price for an OEM hood! I know for sure that I could get a CF cheaper.

hmm, gruppe-s has CF hoods/trunks that fit pretty well and look great. Dont fuss with shady companies that sell you sh*t that looks like crap.. anyway Cal is the guy to call
If you could PM me after you get your CF parts and tell me how it looks/fits, i might even look into buying a new trunk... i only say that because a costo sized shopping cart was run into my trunk.. and you could imagine what that did..

If you looking for a new car (though I love my evo and would never give her up) when big hail storms like that occur and they damage NEW cars on the lots the dealerships sell them at such a discount their losing money and they pay for them to get fixed. Well maybe not losing BIG money, but you get the idea. Just a thought. Wish they had lots full of evos during storms like that lol. JK

CF parts would be my choice.
