Default How many of you guys.....

have body damage on your R's but can't afford to fix it right now?.... my dents are driving me nuts but I shouldn't spend the money right now. I don't think i've ever seen a type R that wasn't in mint condition....to be honest.

Ive seen lots of the guys that do a lot of racing with dents and stuff. Look at sackdz's car. If you dont have the money to fix it I guess you dont have an option. Ive got a nice big fat scratch on my rear bumper right threw the paint that i dont really give a crap about.

I've got about a 6 inch long scratch on my rear bumper right above my license plate from a shopping cart... Wal-Mart battle scars =

Doesn't bug me enough to fix it.

I dont feel so bad now, cause I rear ended someone and messed up my bumper and lights. Used the insurance money to buy Teins, hehe.

Anyone ever here of the "dry ice urban myth?" Supposedly, if the dent isn't too big, you can place a piece of dry ice on that spot....the extreme cold will cause the metal to shrink/contract and the area will pop back into it's original shape. It's an urban myth but I was wondering if anyone has actually tried it...

Courtesy of a big *** chunk of an 18 wheeler tire. It was either hit the tire or the people in the lanes next to me.





The next few is from a dumbass cousin who took the car without my permission. I think someone kicked the door but he said that someone backed into it. What pissed me off is he tried to pop it out himself and mad it worse. Wiped awaya some of the dirt.







I really dont care about the damage anymore. I drive my car, it isnt a garage queen.

I'm not sure but it's right where the damn bodyline crease in the door. Plus if you look a little bit under the dent, you can see that the paint is cracked.

I have ton's of battle scars. My car has been keyed, the front emblem is crack, do to some idiot who doesn't know how to back up. Paint is falling off my front lip, someone took a rock a rubbed it against my roof. I'm gonna get it all fixed during the summer. I'm most likely getting it resprayed, probably gonna stick with FBP.
