Someone scratched my Gramlights - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So some idiot at the mall last night decided to scratch my Gramlights while I was parked. Are these easily fixable or should I dish out another 450 for a new wheel?

Are you trolling? Looks like you just curved the wheels and tires. Good job!

Shift86 · 03-26-2016, 01:45 PM

Not even trolling. I've never hit my car on anything yet. I would have heard it if I did and wouldn't have been as angry as I am. I'm a lot more forgiving of my own stupidity than someone else's.

Totaled.

Also the area of damage is too small for me to have curb rashed it. The wheels would have been spinning and the area would have been a lot bigger than 2 inches.

Someone put a lot of effort into making it look like you curbed it. Even sprinkled some concrete dust in there. That's talent.

I'm assuming that was from either the wheel itself or maybe a hub cap? Also the angle of the scratch and size doesn't seem to match me curbing something. It would have been on the inside of the rims with the way Gramlights are designed. And as far as I recall I haven't backed into a parking space in months.

Regardless of whichever idiot did it (some stranger or me). Is there anyway to fix it?

Look up a wheel repair guy. The hardest part is getting color and texture right.

It can be sanded and repainted to get really close.

edit: what swarb said.

lmfao is this thread serious?

You can even see on the tire where you hit the curb.

I can't even keep a straight face right now.

Next level trolling right here

It happens. Personally, I'd just clean it up a little myself and call it a character mark.

I mean it's not a huge deal. It's a car and it's not gonna remain in perfect condition as a daily driver. I'd be a lot less upset over it if I knew for sure it was me cause I'd just own up to it as my own mistake and fix it.

But I don't recall hearing anything from my car since I've purchased it almost 2 years ago indicating I hit something, even a curb. I just came back from the mall last night and noticed it right away. I figured if I did it to myself I would have found out the second it happened.

I'm still gonna get it fixed regardless of who's to blame and there's nothing I can do about it. Just wanted to know to cheapest way to take care of it.
