car got f*ed up today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok so me and my friend were out test driving my car today after working on it, and at the top of 4th gear my hood flew open and shattered my windshield and dented the hell out of the top of my roof!! didnt crack the sunroof but all the body around it is damaged. im gonna need a new hood, windshield, and the roof fixed. i called my body shop guy and he said im basically f ucked cause the roof is bent where the top of the windshield is suppsed to sit. pics will be coming tomrorw when i go to the shop to check on the estimate.
i hope my insurance covers it cause its not the stock hood, and i had hood pins holding it down, and no latch. (hood pins slid back, thats why it lifted up)
my car looks so wrecked, i almost cried.

your insurance should surely cover it. now you can get a new hood. maybe good excuse to get carbon fiber. that does suck though. do you know why it flew up like that? did you forget to make sure it was down tight? just wonderin

Rep Power: 307 damn that sucks
most expensive thing is gonna be the roof
best idea is to beat up your stock hood a little bit, reinstall the latch, remove the pins and then file a claim

Rep Power: 257 thanks for the commments everyone

windshields for our cars a re about 160 installed.
to late to install factory hood or the latch, the car is already at the shop.
wait till you guys see these pics, it looks soooo freekin bad
insurance should cover everything regardless, i pay 4000 dollars a year, if they dont, im gonna flip a script.

Rep Power: 289 ur insurance will go from 4000 to 4500. see the difference in ur deductible and how much it will cost to fix. more claims = higher insurance = costlier in the long run. gl tho
