My 2014 GT received a pelting from the hail that came through Plano last week ,which did a lot of damage to my hood, top and some to the rear hood and upper parts of fenders. Luckily no glass damage.
Has anyone gone through this that has any suggestions?
I have seen different approaches to repairs but since the hood was badly damaged I was considering replacing it with a ram air hood instead of the stock hood since they will replace it anyway.
Do I take it to Service King or to a reputable paint and body shop?
Does anyone have the opinion that it will be totaled?
Just putting this out there for comments.

I doubt the car will be totaled. If you go the body shop route make sure to use a good one. I have a PDR guy I use out in Frisco he has done several of my cars and they always turn out perfect. Let me know if you want his number I'll Pm it to you.

I have recently learned the car won't be totaled unless the damage is 60% of the value of the car. I also agree make sure the body shop is reputable or you'll never be happy with the outcome. Sorry to hear of the damage

Hello Wayne, I had good results with the painting place in Lucas. They did a great job on a rear hit on my 15 great.
