HOLY HELL......Hailstorm.......PIX to come.
Well, I was gone this weekend to the states, good weekend, did some golfing and tubing. Got home and my parents said they had a hailstorm, but didnt think it was that bad as they were home and said the pieces werent that bad. Well I went out to look at my car and check and I pretty much almost cried upon looking. Thier are probably 35-50 dents all over my Hood, Fenders, Roof, Door, Rear quarter panel, and trunk. I will take pics tommorow as Its late now, but now I truly feel like giving up. I know I dont have any exterior mods, but I spend hours waxing and washing and claying etc to keep it clean, Now Im sure Ill have to get a full new paintjob. 
I just dont even know what to do, I have to take it to insurance and see what thier gunna do, but If i do have to get it repainted, give me some options of colors you think would look sweet.
So far my 2 choices IF THEY DONT FORCE ME TO TO BACK TO SSM IS:
1.) Pearl White(Pink pearl in there)
2.) Factory Honda Championship white
3.)
4.)
5.)
Im open to any other colors, I just cant think of any other ones right now.
Rep me and Ill throw ya back some.

Rep Power: 0 color choices: is300 grey, Honda Fiji Blue or Rally Red.
AND FYI: Those dents might be a blessing in disguise, they reduce wind resistance and increase aerodynamics. Kinda like dimples on a golf ball.

Rep Power: 0 Well I wouldn't get your hopes up on the new paint. I just got hit a few months ago and the insurance guys all recommend the paintless dent remover. Just to give you a heads up. The only problem with that is there are a few spots on our vics that you can't get to unless you start cutting holes. So you will probably end up with half the car getting fixed with paintless den removal and the rest conventional body work. Unless you can get them to repaint the whole car, this is what they are going to do. And the check they send you will be for about 2/3 of the total amount you need. They recommend you take it to a body shop and if the bodyshop needs more money they will work with your insurance. Just incase you want to take the cash and run. They try to save a few dollars by low balling you.

Rep Power: 296 I'm sorry to hear that, championship white would look sick, or paint it SSM with a black top and just get CF hood and trunk instead of get the other replaced or painted.

Rep Power: 273 well turns out there was 3700$ damage, Have to get a new hood(oem), and grill(oem), and the whole car repainted. Im just gunna get it done ssm again, because after talking to my bodyshop guy, he said it would be about 1000 extra for him to get into the door jams and everything else. I just dont have that kinda of cash right now, so Ill stick with this color.
