Hail damaged car

about a month ago my car got pelted with baseball sized hail the car is in the shop but has stoped because acura dosent have any roofs for a 07 tl type s its being replaced which is scaring the shit outta me.



Ill get pics up 2mrw should i just go with the paintless dent removal or let them replace the roof the shop is a great body shop that i've been using for a while now.


the car wasn't in a accident but the whole things beng repainted so sad i broke my back washing/waxing/claying it.


There was no glass broken somehow yet every car on my block had their rear windshield smashed there was no water damage what so ever not even a drop inside. But the whole cars going to be repainted its a NBP btw.


So what you guys think i should do let them replace my roof or should i just go to a PDR for the roof and see what they can do.

when pdr is done right it can look amazing, but it must be from someone very experienced. some pics would help us know if pdr is an option. and why dont they have a roof for 07 tl? btw it doesnt have to be from an 07 or a type s. all the TL have same roof, 04-08

Post some pics. My car got pummeled by golf ball sized hail a few months ago all over, and I got it fixed via PDR from a pro, albeit it cost ~$7500.
