There's no other story. I don't mess anybody up, I don't hangout with anybody's girlfriend or whatsoever. Just one simple reason, they hate me.

Yeah. LOL the white one looks sick when it's clean especially under sunlight. I've seen them all, hot lava, fire storm, and black are great on photos but in real life the whiteout is the best (just my opinion they are all beautiful).

Got many photos during the working process but I don't even mind posting them. Car will go to the bodyshop on Monday and I'll get it back the following Friday.

Sorry to hear that bro. I don't understand why people can't be constructive instead of destructive. There should be zero tolerance on people who do this kind of thing. You get caught - paint thinner on your own car.

On the flip side, you should look into getting a full wrap for your car now, or consider plastidipping it! You can pick your color, and if you foresee this kind of thing happening again, at least you will have a little protection against it.

Also, good call on the dashcam. Find them, and kill them.

Paint thinner? Now why would you want them to get a free paint job through their insurance company because their car was vandalized?

I wonder how long before the vandals realize they can just completely tear the wrap off of a car, now that there are a lot of people doing it..

Dashcam would be a good idea if you can identify them on camera.

hope everything will be fixed soon and if I were you I would park in the same place and watch the car from far away.
Somehow I think these people will do it again if they see the car is fixed.
Then you can have your revenge.

I had someone hit my side mirror which turned it out and scratched the paint surface. Looked like they just flat out just hip checked it as they walked by. People are idiots man, sorry to hear about your car. Use insurance though and get it fixed right instead of doing it yourself (unless that's what you do for a living :P)
Good luck

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

Do you have a full coverage insurance policy? you could always just claim through insurance. But if you have already started on trying to repair your car yourself this subject would be a little touchy with insurance.

I'm sorry to see this happened to you! I hate these threads!

Why can't people leave other people's cars out of it? So frustrating every time I see these!

I agree, if you have comprehensive coverage, I would file a claim
