Hail moving through Chester Co. Area - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I just looked out the window 5 minutes ago to see some nice skittle sized hail--

those with aluminum hoods beware, I don't think the hail was big enough to damage steel panels but who knows.

Buster · 08-10-2008, 11:15 AM

good thing I have a steel hood now lol.

JBWRX06 · 08-10-2008, 11:15 AM

i hope it damages mine, i ll get a cf hood out of it

My WRX hood got seriously messed up a couple years ago from hail-- not just the hood either, fenders-- you name it. It was a PITA.

Erik · 08-10-2008, 11:22 AM

CHAOS · 08-10-2008, 11:23 AM

Erik · 08-10-2008, 11:28 AM

Hando567 · 08-10-2008, 11:44 AM

Little G · 08-10-2008, 11:47 AM

wow, it was definitely not that bad in Downingtown

CHAOS · 08-10-2008, 12:25 PM

just checked my car since the storm has passed... no visible dents... ran my hand over the roof and such... hopefully it didnt **** the paint.

JBWRX06 · 08-10-2008, 12:29 PM

i havent been out to check my car yet, but it just started pouring again with hail, maybe a new cf hood out of it and my fenders have lil dents in it so maybe i could get money for that haha

what kind of insurance do you have? It isn't as easy to score a new hood as you may think. AllState paid for the paintless dent removal but wouldn't spring for a 'new' hood as much as I tried.

Omar_MSP · 08-10-2008, 12:47 PM

damn, bet my car got a ding, i haven't checked yet.

lownslow95 · 08-10-2008, 05:13 PM

Damn it was bad. going down the PA Turnpike, I could barley see 10 feet infront of my hood. I had to pull over, and sit on the side of the road. 20 minutes later, I had to put my hazards on and do 40 on the TP.

russiankid · 08-10-2008, 05:16 PM

Nothing here in Lincoln University. However, it did start to drizzle right when I had my carburetor nice and open
