Post Somebody Burned my TL!!! HELP!!!

Okay, she didn't burn my whole car, but she did burn a hole on my roof. Anyone know if I can get it fixed? If so, how?

The hole is around the a-piller, that b!tch couldn't even ash out the window. Don't know why I let her smoke in my car at the first place. Sorry just venting. I had a huge argument with her recently, so it's likely that I have to fix it with my own money. BTW, she is not my gf or anything close to that. Gee, I even put on the spare tire for her when she got a flat. Well, what goes around comes around, she'll see!

Okay, now cut to the point. How difficult will it be for me to fix it myself? How much will it cost if I get a shop to do it? Will that look like new or at least un-noticed? or do I have to replace the whole roof?!?!

Help!! I really need your help!! Streeteffectz are you around, I am pretty sure this is a piece of cake for your, rite? Thanks in advance...

Do you mean she burnt a hole in the headliner? If so, you'll have to buy a whole headliner and put it in.

if you are handy, go to a fabrics shop (or automotive fabrics specialty shops) and buy headliner material and do it yourself. however the dealer will more than likely replace the entire headliner which is more than what you need or should pay. the material is cheap, but labor will be the killer!!!

Yes, she did burn my headliner! (the big piece!) It really pisses me off. It was an evening that she did it. I was being gentle so I said "it's okay" and didn't realize she actually burned a hole until the day after. I called her up and she was like "you said it's okay." WTT?!?!?! Just pissed me off

I still treated her like a friend, helped her out when she got a flat tire, until one day. I was talking to her friend on ICQ while she is at Ms. TLburner's house, and I said the usual stuff like "what's up, how's going?" and Ms. TLbunrer replied for her friend and said "Fking bull****". I was like WTF? So, I called her up and ask her what da heck is wrong with her, she told me "you have two girl friends" Damn, I was like so? I can't talk to your friend just because I got 2 gfs? not that I had any bad intention or anything like that.

Yep, anyhow... Finally I have to face the fact and that is I have to fix the damn thing myself.

BTW my car is leased, so as long as it looks find when I return the car, then it's all good. Sorry for the long post, but I really have to vent... After treating somebody as a friend and getting those kinda reaction and response. I really feel bad and sad...

Hey, I can learn something too
As for the roof, try to find a place that just deals with this kind of stuff, like custom interiors. Dealer should be your last option, cause they will charge you arm and a leg for it.

Sue the chick for damages to your vehicle. That's going overboard. Make her pay for it!

Then find a good auto upholstery shop. They should be able to help you.

Too bad that I can't really sue her for many reasons.

1. Both she and I are Asian, and you know they like to talk shit. I don't want people to talk about this because that might reveal that I have 2 gf to everybody. (and of course I hang out with other girls, too)

2. The male friends that I hang out terats her like a retart, and I don't really wanna bother with her no more!

3. So what if I sue her, waste of my time and won't do me any good. Because she won't pay after all and it's hard to force her to when you go to a small claim court!

4. Her sister is a drug dealer, so this can get really complicated.

Steerteffectz, I still havn't hear from you. Help me out please, Ron! Maybe I will try to private message you...

4. Her sister is a drug dealer, so this can get really complicated.

DRUG DEALER? WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE? if her sis decide to get involved in this call the cops and give info of her sis to them, and since she is a drug dealer whe wont know who ratted on her( trust me, i've done it many times to this someone i hate)

i mean comon.... its a TL!!!! for crying outloud.... if someone burns my TL i'd ship their ass to tailand for prostitution (male or female)

Well, there are common places where everyone hang out. So, I don't want to make a big deal out of it and end up having everyone talking about me. Even thought it's not my fault. I just don't like attention and being talked about behind my back.

Now, that's bad ass, send her to Thai. I doubt that she will make any good money out there thought!!!

ARE YOU FOR REAL? I thought the Jerry Springer show was fake, but I guess people like you really do exist.

I'm sorry, did you actually call her a "retart"??? You meant to spell it wrong...right?

Dude, are you f*#king kidding? Get some new friends!
