I know that feel bro. I have a big ass scuff on the lower end quarter of mine where someone backed up into it. I have been trying to get it buffed out for weeks.

I was walking out of the doors at a local store and even at a distance I could see it. Asphalt shows everything! A family passed by right when I saw it, a couple of children passing by me might have learned some new words that night.

That sucks... That is EXACTLY why I walk 2 mi to any store because I park as far freaking away as I can. This dumb ass lady in a minivan pulled up beside me and parked right after me... still in my car, I put it in drive and moved away from her... she was looking at me like I was crazy... NO WAY IN HELL I AM LETTING A MINIVAN PARK NEXT TO ME. Hope you get that fixed bro.

Y'all should just bubble wrap your car... Geez it's a car.. Shit happens.. I swear this is the worst forum in the world I've been apart of with regards to dents and scratches.. I mean I want my car to look as good as possible.. But I've seen people on here put a "screen protector" over the whole front end.. Geez.. They get scratched and dented and stuff.. Otherwise buy a beater and park this in your garage and it'll always look shiny new.. I was pissed when at 3 weeks old my car was backed into... I pushed the dent out best I could its still there... I don't care.. Lol

Unfortunately I do not. I was so upset about it I had the guy out and had it fixed in hours.

I can take an after pic later today. If I told you to look for it you would not be able to find it.

Common man we dont cry about it like sisi girls but it dont make me happy. The part what makes me mad is not dent that bothers me but it will be sorted out but what kills me is the ppl. Once i was parked and was sitting in car and lady parked next to me open door and boom shook my car. I was mad about the dent but more i was pissed cuz stupid ppl dont care for other ppl things. Thats the point

Maybe I'm missing it.. And I've reread the whole thread.. But I don't see a account on what happened.. Just a picture of a dent.. If indeed you was in the car and someone opened their door and hit your car.. Did you get out and trade insurance info.. I would've.. I would've got the name license plate and any info I could to have them fix it.. If I came out to my car and seen the dent.. I doubt I'd do anything.. There was a post about some guy chasing down someone because a rock came up and hit the windshield and cracked it.. To me that's over board.. And I've had to replace the windshield once and got a new crack in my new windshield.. Scratches from the car wash.. Guy put the window cleaner bottle on the roof and scratched it when he took it off.. I guess I can see the frustrations.. But I've always been one that shit happens.. Like I said I was pissed when the guy backed into my car.. But took about 2-3 mins of me walking away to cool down.. Then got even more pissed when he tried to blame it on me for "hot rodding" my new car around.. That took me awhile to get over lol

Yes. I have seen a similar kind of dent right on the crease of a roof line from hail that PDR made disappear.

One thing you have to watch for with low cars like the FRS is the downward gouge from the upper sharp rear edge of the rear door of a sportute or higher sedan. What can happen is the height of rear door can drop from the weight of the person entering causing that corner to dig into your fender or doors. People think they are only lightly touching your car until they get in and jam the door corner into the paint & metal!

I wanted to kill the dofus who made the first scratch in my raven, it was me, doh! Just last week washing car, hose brushed door, made a bunch of scratches, one is actually pretty good. I got most of the others out with hand application of polish and a bit of rubbing compound. The good one needs more. Still super visible, ah the joys of black!
