Passenger side fender. Over a foot long. No pics yet.

The worst part is I think I know who did it. Of course, I don't have any scientific evidence that can prove it. Happened most likely while my car was in the shared garage (I live in a 198-unit apartment complex). Its not like its a door ding either. Since it was on the front fender, this means that someone had to actually walk up there to do it. It was not by accident.

How much would it cost, typically, to get the right front fender repainted? I assume this is the minimum necessary since all the damage was contained in this area ("lucky" for me, *ahem*, it didn't cross into the passenger side door).

If this happens again (in the garage), then I know its targeted. As of now, there's really nothing I can summarize, but f*cking A, whoever it is, they seriously picked on the wrong person.

 

That sucks.! Being nosy....How do you think you know who did it?

 

I think I know who did it because they (a couple) used to live with us, and they still publically voice (to their friends, friendster, myspace, etc) that they hate us, etc.

They only handed back one copy of the key before (they made a copy obviously, since only one person was on the lease before), which means they still have access to the premises.

Even without a key, there are always easy ways in into most apartment complexes.

 

My Mustang got keyed on the hood while I used to live at an apartment complex another time they threw a banana peel on the hood and let it bake in the sun, don't you hate that? I can't stand people sometimes, well most of the time. Personally, I wouldn't "rush" and get it fixed, cause likely if you are being tageted they will just do it again. Whenever people see nice cars in public, they have to f*ck it up!

 

Tell me about it... I might just not repair it until I move somewhere else (probably in 7-8 months).

Sigh. I wonder how much it would cost though.

 

I feel your pain.

 

you may be able to buff it out. try meguiars scratch x. it does wonders, unless it's through the clear coat

 

Back in my rice rocket days, my civic got keyed and I was heated. My TL has been lucky so far. I feel your pain tho.

 

Kill them. Cut them up.. pigs will eat anything.

 

 

Last week, leaving the 49ers game, a bunch of kids were throwing rocks at cars leaving the parking lot, and mine got hit twice, once on the hood and on the drivers door. Total cost to repair is almost $ 1500.00. The body shop guy explained to me how much work is involved on getting paint matched on cars like the Acura. So you're damage should run about half of that as a ballpark estimate, depending on where you live. I also had someone rearend me in a parking lot at work and then take off. That cost $ 2,500.00 damage. I have had bad luck with this TL.

 

Today I took a closer look at it and realized it might have just been some dipshit with a branch that was running it across people's car because the scratch starts from the passenger side headlight. Most people who key cars from what I can gather would just go for the paint.. In fact, going for the fender seems a bit out of the way...

I'll see if I can make it less apparent through some cleaning and buffing... Claybar here I come..

 

Keyed or drive by brancher.. all must die who have no respect for other peoples property! Need some help? :angryfire

 

Don't you hate stupid kids? No respect for anyone's property. Some kids were playing soccer in a parking lot and low and behold the ball hit my dad's brand new RL as he was leaving.

 

That really sucks.

I think I'd cry if someone did that to my car.

 

To TL'n IT UP;

Like the way you think.

 

Ouch... Im sorry if my car was hit by rocks, I'd get out with with my gun in my hand... Shit like this couldn't happen in Texas, too many people have guns lol.... But anyway that does really suck. Did they catch those punk ass kids? Damn hearing about shit like this pisses me off..

 

Count me in!

 

someone keyed mine about 2 months ago...3inch deep mark in the rear drivers door


now i have to sell it too...so people are prob gunna be bitchin about it
