how the **** does my day get any better after picking my car up from the dealer? well, within 5 mins of leaving the dealer in a shopping center, a god damn shopping cart decides to play get away and ****** run into my ******* car. ****. i now have a big *** line running down the passenger side rear quarter panel. and to top if all of, it's damaged along a body line. how much is this gonna cost? dont, know, but i dont give a **** anymore. **** me, and **** my luck. i ******* hate this world.

 

dude sorry to hear about that Ed. Your best bet would be to either get some touchup paint or just a whole new paintjob.

 

Sorry to hear that man. I gotta a small paint scratch on the door last week (the night before the dinner with Koy) which I was able to fix up with some Megiuar's scratch removal stuff. It works pretty well, doesn't completely remove it but it does make less noticeable. Is the scratch deep?

Yeah, sorry......I think we all have had those days. Try using GS27 scratch remover....it has taken off some really bad scratchs on my car. I hate dents, scratchs, marks, dings..........but thats life. Just be happy that you engine didn't blow up!!!!!!!!!!

 

hey 8400 that stuff really works? The commercial was slightly convincing and i was thinking about getting it.

 

its not a scratch, its a big DENT DOWN THE SIDE of my rear quarter panel. the DENT is FREAKIN HUGE, sorry, im still very mad. i dunno what to do now, calling insurance tomorrow, im done with paying for body damage myself.

 

Paintless dent removal should get rid of the dent - the scratch you'll have to live with unless you repaint that section of the car.

 

BPR, i've dealt with paintless dent removal before. they took out a huge dent, but the thing is, it leaves these waves in the paint. bah!

 

Not if they spend the time to do it right. I had a guy spend 45 minutes on a 3 inch dent, shining bright lights from every angle to make sure the paint was smooth.

I suppose it depends on the depth of the dent and the age of the paint. My car is new.

 

well my car is new too , i'll give the paintless dent removal place another try. if not, then im gonna go to honda service center and get it fixed.

 

does the Honda service center handle body work? I though they refer people to local body shops of that. If you do find a good one let me know.

had the same thing in my quarter panel but somebody kicked it....if you find a guy that knows what hes doing in paintless dent removal he could do it as cheap as 200...that is low because all the othr shops i went to said 400 and up....so about 250 - 300 if you dont know the guy....200 if you do ...and expect a 95% job becuase of aluminium and the bodyline...i have a black r so you can barely see IF you know where to look....but your car is yellow so it shouldnt show up as much...good luck

 

thanks, i also had my car kicked in, and taken out by paintless dent removal. i just need to find a good one now. anyone have suggestions?

 

Pete:

Honda Service Center has their own body shop. They do g00d work

yoshi - who's taken his LC, sister's car, dad's car, mom's car to HSC

 

I used to work at a grocery store way back and the owners told me that they are liable for shopping karts that are left in the parkinglot. Might want to see if you can get some compensation.

 

thanks josh, im going back tomorrow with my witness to see if i can get any compensation. you guys will be able to see the wrath of a shopping cart at the auto-x this weekend if i dont get it fixed by then. POOP!

 

If you go with Paintless dent repair. dont let anybody touch it except Chris at
Dentcrafters Inc He is sole owner and has over 10 years experience. He fixed
a ding on a Supra that I owned and a small one (done buy a dealer) on my type R.
his number is 1-888-4NODENT. He it located in Orange Ca. You have to trust me
about this!!!!!!!!!

 

does he do mobile? orange ca is sorta far from me. i'll give him a call anyways, thanks.

 

zmeli!

d00d...been awhile since i've seen you 'round these parts...no more ITR, right? bring the Z out to the auto-x or something.. (:

-k-b0t, who remembers the baby f00d incident...

 

here are the money shots





do ya like the mismatched bumper? that's an added bonus from the car gods.

 

YB - that looks worse than I had thought! Let me know who you go to get it fixed.

Yoshi - where is the Honda Service Center? Are you talking about the one on Crenshaw and Sepulveda?

Damn dude, now I understand your rage. My car has been hit in the same place twice. The 1st time was a hit and run, got that fixed. 2nd time, not even a week later, my friend hits my car in the same spot attempting to park next to me

I hate when people park next to me
