Any suggestions for a shop? =\

Did you do the right thing or just leave the poor guy with a damaged car?

My family owns the lot, the owner is a good customer/friend of ours and his truck had no visible damage, he just slapped my back and said "cute car".

Makes you think twice about even running lowering springs.

Why?

I'm lowered on KW Coilovers and made it to work and back just fine. At work for 7:45am, left at 5pm. They plowed our lot once and left over a foot in front of my car. But never fear, the RWD sports coupe is here!

I am impressed with you guys that drive in this stuff. I guess it's all what you're used to. Yet I remain impressed and commend you guys on getting the 86 out in those conditions. Love it!

Amazing those go pros. One has been found here at the bottom of a fairly deep stretch of sea. It had been there for 5 years after being lost by a wake boarder and the memory card still had the video in perfect order.

$14.95 for paint touch up at a local subaru dealership(should be the same for scion/toyota)

Don't like the sound of scraping with hard crusty frozen snow

The same DupliColor touch up pen is actually less than 10 bucks at Crappy Tire if you can find the color. I've seen the spray can too for 15 bucks if that's what you mean.

You can cross MS Auto off the list for a good shop for re-sprays, they had to spray my friend's DC5 fender 3 times and it still came out wrong (and they were dissing the BASF paint system saying they use more superior stuff pffff).

One time I went to Royfoss GM dealer to re-spray the hatch for my old GTI, BASF paint system to match the VW factory stuff and it came out amazingly good, $500 bucks well spent.

so I had 30 hour segments with live commentary.. but my current go-pro mount location is bad for transferring the feel of drifting (almost non existent)

so I just simple edited and slapped some beats on it

remember, any time the camera moves sideways that's the back end stepping out
