Ow, that's painful to look at. Appears to be golf ball sized hail. Yeah, storms producing hail can pop up in 30 min, not giving you much warning. I've had 1 car hailed on - my first brand new car I ever bought, an 89 Probe GT which was 1 yr old at the time. Sickening feeling watching it get pelted.

Can't imagine the cost of replacing every panel on a 911. Did you turn your Porsche into a track car?

That's still a great track car as is with dimples.
The dimples will increase your top speed.

I was thinking the same thing! All the dimples may increase lift. I heard about a Cessna 150 that got hail damage on the wings and it flew better after than it ever did before.
