Default Replacement roof

Hi!! I'm new and need some help. Thought this might be a good place to ask. I have an '08 vistablue GT. Last Sunday some !#$%@^&* (Sorry, I'm vary mad) decided to jump on my roof caving it in. I pushed it back out but there are still small chips, ripples and dents all over it. Do you guys know where I could find a replacement roof panel? I tried AmericanMuscle and a few other sites but found nothing.

Thanks!!
John

You're not going to find a part like that at an aftermarket supplier like American Muscle. You are looking for a body panel - so more than likely will have to go to a dealer. But that isn't something that you can do by yourself, body work is pretty specialized and skilled. Check with Pascal, he owns a body shop.

Look around for a good body shop. I had hail damage on my car, 05GT, and the insurance company brought in some of those folks that massage out dents and they were all gone. So with that expertise and a body shop, I'd think it could be really well done.

I recently purchased a used 2013 Subaru Forester in excellent shape except some kind of pox on the hood. I asked my local body shop about paint, could he make it match and such. He told me that they feed the VIN into a computer, and it spits out the paint. Hood is amazing! They painted ONLY the hood, didn't touch fenders or anything else.
