WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

Some how it was pressed in with enough force onto my spoiler bending the metal inward on the trunk lid amd splitting the paint.

Could easily identiy the group as the Probe they left in was an autozone one-of-a-kind-custom. We also happened to be directly infront of a camera. BB would not let me look at the camera without a police report however the manager told me it seemed as if they were leaning on the back of the car. So I called the cops whom told me there was basicly nothing they could do since the group had already left. They didn't seem interested in looking at the camera or even taking a statement.

The damage is fixable but, the time it will take me to remove the spoiler and repaint everything means a downtime of around 4 days, and cost of paint/materials. Having done it the first time I expect somewhere around $350 if I fix it myself. Having sealed everything with 3m applique moulding tape and torqued it with nuts/bolts I expect this to be a nightmare...

Now, some people would call me way too aggressive (myself included), but I would not have let that slide. The Probe would have been followed to the parents' house and there would have been a conversation with the adults. I would have left there with the absolute understanding that I would not be paying out of pocket for the repairs.

That really fucking sucks man.

Damage sounds interesting from "leaning"... pics?

I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow during daylight if I can.
The area around the certer mount is pressed in and the purple is where the paint has cracked due to it.

Decided to go for it and wrapped my dash pieces and handles in a wood vinyl film. I despised the cheap silver paint look. We'll see if I like this or not, but I thought it would look good with my car. What do you guys think? Anyone else diggin it? Tryin to be original, and have something that makes my car unique.


Anyways, here's the meat and potatoes of this post

It's original for sure if you dig it, then that's all that matters. Me? Not so much reminds me abit of old family cars like station wagons that had wood paneling on side, I'm a 70s baby though.
