Default Only 3 months and I got KEYED!

Just noticed someone keyed my passenger door. Deep enought go all the way through. Anyone who knows about how much I'm looking at to get the door repainted?

Looks like I'm going to have to use my Xmas bonus to get it fixed. Surprisingly, I'm not mad because I cant blame anyone. However, had I witnessed the act, I would have ended their days on this earth then and there.

This really sucks to hear....I'm sorry you are going through this....damn haters!

I almost want to park my Z in a very public place, and watch it from afar for extended periods of time just to catch people like this...

Wow, sorry to hear. Had my car keyed before as well; it sucks. Mines was along the passenger door as well. I shelled out my insurance deductible ($500) to fix it. I think it costs in the neighborhood of at least $750 to fix this , if you want a quality job. I think my estimate was like $1000+.


What's with all the Z's getting keyed lately?

Just the door? Lucky it wasn't the front quarter panel, door, and rear quarter panel, like someone did to me. Another car I own had the word "FUCX" keyed into the passenger door (obviously an amateur, and/or an idiot) - all told, over $2k in damages.

Sorry about the incident. Vandalism is common place no matter what neighborhood you live or where you park.

I feel your pain. someone keyed my entire car, both sides ( front fender to rear quarter panel ), hatch, hood, and all the glass (except for the little side windows), and th estimate was 4500, but that guy only want to repair them and not pant the whole car. I finally found someone to throw in the whole paint job, and replace the glass. It should be done in the first 2 weeks of january. Merry christmas to me. I only had it for about a month too. good luck with it.
