The roofs on the B15 SE-R is one thing that does seem to be of notable quality. I had a basket ball hit mine once and it didn't do a thing.

I hit a hail storm in mine once. Hail was about the size of golfballs, some bigger. News said hail was hitting at 100+mph. My car got screwed. Hood, front driver side fender, both driver side doors, rear driver side fender, door moldings and trunk all had to be replaced. Amazingly, no windows broke. The spoiler is fiberglass so it didn't dent. The roof they salvaged. Total claim on insurance, $4141.08. The sheet metal on the Spec is thin, to keep the weight down and save on production costs, so it dents very easily.

I still have pics from my digi cam. If someone could tell me how to post them on here, I will. Car looks like a pop can someone stepped on and then tried to straighten out.

Well 100+ MPH...well than most anything is going to get damaged with a velocity like that. That is like Randy Johnson throwing a baseball at you. Did you see what he did to that poor bird? lol

My car got hit by a pop fly baseball before....left a nice fat dent in the hood which had to be replaced

Other than that, my car hasn't encountered any solid round objects falling quickly out of the sky.

I hit some minor hail before, Like peanut sized. Not a dent/scratch. Not a very long hail storm, but I definitely saw chunks of it hitting the ground. I missed the quarter sized pieces by about 10 minutes. Magical SER damaging hail avoiding powers.

I've ten hail dents

three on the bonnet(hood), four on the roof and the rest on the boot (trunk). Very soft I suspect.
