Hail Damage
This sucks As$, going to work , we just got the truck back together from doing the tranny R&D and I run into golf ball sized hail. Truck is dam near new and looks like someone took a base ball bat to the front of the hood? Not to mention all of the other little dints and dings, I will never know how it did not break the Sun Roof out. 
I wonder if Progressive will cut me a check or let me pay extra for an aftermarket hood. The truck is Sandstone Metallic; I think a carbon fiber would look good?? What do you guys think?

This is my personal opinion so don't take it the wrong way. but I can't stand it when people file an insurance claim for Hail Damage. Small little dings are nothing and your making your insurance company dish out thousands just so you can feel better about what you drive. It's no wonder the economy is in the *****. way too much nonsense going on.
That aside I don't know about the carbon fiber hood. is it painted or the carbon fiber look like ricers do?

No man is Not like that. And I agree a few small dings I would have a dent guy fix. This damage has destroyed the hood. Where it makes the bend down to the grill there are MASSIVE dents. It really looks like someone hit it with golf *****. Ya the hood would be the Ricer style. I think it would look great but dang now you said it "ricer" the few hoods I have seen for the NBSS just to me suck. I would like to have a nice clean low profile Cow induction hood.

Will do, it just happened tonight and I am still at work. I thought for sure it was going to bust the glass out of the sunroof.I plan on cleaning the truck really good to see how bad it is other than just the hood. I know I have 4 or 5 large dents in the front right finder also. Makes me sick the truck is like new.

Yepers I called them 20min after it happened. And a clam’s guy will be calling me here in a few hrs. I have wayyy too much $$$$$ in that truck to have it dented all to hell. not to mention its not even a year old.

I've had hell dents for years. My driverside window vent thing got busted from hail last year.
If it's as big as he's describing I would understand. but some small dings are nothing. It hails a few times a year, i just don't see the point. Welcome to the U.S.
What's really bad is a lot of people will file a claim like that and never even fix the damage, they just spend it on something else.
I secretly hope I hit a deer on my way home one day so I can fix my broken grille. Not bad enough to mess up the truck. just enough to maybe need a hood and grille.
