Why's that hard to believe, I just got my car back from the body shop yesterday b/c I parked it outside a restaurant in Tucson to have dinner with friends...was out there 2 hours and got the entire panel under the driver side door kicked it, brand new Forgestars on that side got all fucked up and I had a flat.

People are f@#$in assholes...simple as that.

I'm sorry that happened to you, people just have no respect and are so subconscious now a days, always paranoid as hell leaving my car alone. Hopefully you get it fixed and your upcoming dash cam can record those idiots if they strike again.. hopefully not.

My friend has a whiteout and it is indeed a difficult color to match even with same paint code from Toyota/subaru and what not.

I went to subaru dealer to get some touch-up paint. Also bought some 1000-2000 sand papers with some polishing compound as well.

Spend 4 hours sanding, panting, buffing, sanding....no luck. small scratches are easy to work with but the deep one ( the more I sand, the more pearl coat is gone. This color is difficult to work with. I CAN'T DO IT.

Go to a body shop that my friend had done there before and get a quote of $750 for hood, 1 door, 1 back panel, and touch-up on the front bumper! The person works there said that there's no way to fix it, I have to get it painted and this is tri-color paint. F.k

some are just plain jealous, simple as that. their life is shit and pretty much have nothing to look forward too so they think by vandalizing this beautiful car, we will have it as low as them. screw them, fix it up even better than before and have the last laugh.

good luck

While I'll never understand why someone will feel the need to vandalise a beautiful car I agree with j2digit - the best revenge is living well.
Fix it up perfect, polish to a high gloss shine and show these bastards: They may take our clear coat, then may slash our tires, but they'll never take our FREEDOM!!!!!!

I was gone for 30 minutes while I was out for a run AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING, and I came back to a key scratch from my front fender to the door handle. Deep enough to expose the metal in a few places. The whole scratch was into the base color layer. Now I have to get the whole side of the car resprayed.. Thanks asshat.

How come every time someone's car gets vandalized there are so many people so quick to jump on the "they were jealous" bandwagon. Ever think that there are just assholes out there with nothing better to do? I'd imagine with all of these jealous people out there vandalizing cars, no exotic would be safe.

Regardless of the motive to deface the car. It should encourage us to keep dash cams in our cars to get the identity of the muthrfukrs that are doing this. Seriously bring them to justice and have them pay for the damage they caused. I have seen many threads on our cars getting damaged.

My buddy has a 2002 Vette ZO6 in pristine condition that got the door kicked in while walking into the grocery for 20 min on a Sunday. People are watching and waiting more than you know. Thus having surveillance is critical. It may even help insurance coverage depending on your policy.

After an incident like this I hope everyone has learned to garage their cars for so many good reasons. Obviously the risk still exists when taking the car out in public.

Oh yeah and even though I am 29 years old. That would not prevent me from beating the shit out of someone if I got a hold of them in the act. Younger than 18 or not.
