    Hey everyone, I'm excited to be here. My wife and I recently purchased a 2016 Tacoma and are thrilled about it. However, it does have hail damage after the bad hailstorms here in Texas. On the bright side, we got it at a great price! :D


    I know a auto body shop guy who is getting a new (scoop) hood for it, since that's where the worst, most noticeable dents are. The rest will be fixed at some other time. Just trying to hide as many as possible with accessories.

    So far we've installed fender flares, tonneau cover, and roof rails. She's looking better already:

    They told me the dents were too deep and would need to go to a body shop. Estimated $8000 to repair everything :angrygirl:

    Worth a shot? I'm glad we don't get hail storms like that.

    Not sure if it'll work on the little hail dents but could be worth a try. Thanks

    It was the worst hailstorm in many years. Happened without any warning. Two of our cars got totaled and the other one has been in the shop for over a month getting fixed up. Not to mention the damage to the house!

    I see you got it from North Park in SA, I'm actually right by there. I had a bad dent that was much "deeper" than your hail damage from a shopping cart - I took it to concourse auto salon on Babcock and they did a great job.
