Basketball hoop+High wind=...
We just had a pretty bad storm last night and it knocked of some trees and power lines along with my little brothers basketball hoop right on my car. The hoop hit one of the only body panels thats metal. The base of it scratched the piss out of the front bumper and drivers side fender. Oh well i will call the insurance company on monday. Oh yea i was wondering how they would fix that dent with out replacing the whole panel.1996 Pontiac Firebird M6- Pro 5.0 ,Welfare CAI, Magnaflow Catback, Longtubes, 160 thermostat, BMR torque arm, lower control arms and LCA relocation brackets, TB bypass, e-cutout, on my second motor, third clutch, third fuel pump and loving every minute of it!

It's repairable. Had a shopping cart to that to the other side of our T/A a few years back.......cost around $1400 if I remember right.

The part that makes me mad is that it hit one of the only metal parts on the car... well maybe if it hit the plastic it might of cracked. Do you think they can just pull it or do they have to replace the panel?
