bummer. fwiw I had a similar size curbing on my Lexus wheels and it cost about $60 to have it sanded/repainted. But I bet if you cleaned it really good and put another coat of plastidip/paint on it you wouldn't even see it.

Yeah, I've fixed curb rash before, pretty easy, just needs a little filler and some sanding. Figured I might as well do the whole shebang since I'll have the wheel off and sand paper out anyway. Just ordered some Grimmspeed BBS gold and some clear. Question is, when will I have the time, lol.

Yay, finally got my first dent+scratch after 7 months of ownership from some moron who doesn't know how to open their car door with care.

Surprisingly, right? Lol. Got pretty lucky with it till now, but that's to be expected from a DD. Your car still looks good in person though!

My car is like the SR-71 Blackbird... it serves a limited purpose. When it is not screaming through the air it spends its time parked in a covered hangar. Stops at malls, grocery stores and wal-mart are not in its itinerary. That's what our tC beater is for.

From 4 or 5 feet away... lol.

Don't care. It's why I bought the 25K car over all of the more expensive ones on my list. So I could beat the shit out of it and not feel bad!

^ what he said, them tails look mighty sexy.

[BlaineWasHere]

All the other ones look like shit, but the red ones are the best aftermarket so far. Other than maybe the Tom's but I'm not even sure those are obtainable.
