This is precisely why I panic when I see a severe thunderstorm approaching while parked at work.

Damn nature, you scary!

GG.

Good thing there's no Hail in Toronto :).

Man that sucks. I know they can do some fixes for hail now a days, but this looks brutal. Time for a CF hood ;)

it's like a golfball now, should add a few tenths at an autocross.

Yeah PDI is not going to bring that car back...looks like the whole thing will need to be worked on in a shop, like 10g in damages (with labour, parts, painting etc) that really sucks.

BUT those little dents may just smooth out the air going over the car, like how the bottom of the a lexus is dimpled like a golf ball? haha :lol:

Brutal... poor FRS and its owner.

Baby Jesus cries when an FRS/BRZ is damaged. :'(

oh snap....

Hail in my area was nowhere near as bad as that outcome....
i never saw the golfball sized hail....they were only icecubes.

It wouldn't take much...

The hood (& trunk?) are aluminium after all.

Omg, it hail here a few weeks ago and it scared the crap out of me, good thing there was no damage. Feel bad for the owner.
