Thanks man. I just ordered all that stuff we'll see how it goes.
I stopped off at my house on my lunch break and I think it says "Hi" but I can't be sure. I'll have to look at it closer when I get home. I'll post pictures too (my photo hosting site is blocked at work).
The girl offered to pay half for any repairs since it happened at her house. I told her not to worry about it, though.

Good idea. I'll check into it if the other stuff doesn't work.

The more I think about it, I think you might be right. I wonder if he was crying when he did it. HAHA
I updated the first post with a pic.

This girl recently broke up with her boyfriend so I'm thinking it might have been him, or it could have been some kid hating, or maybe some other girl I was seeing. Not knowing is really bothering me.
Another ****ed up thing is that I drove the car home this morning and didn't even see it.
UPDATE:
Here's a pic of the vandalism.

Maybe they were really scared, and could not get the hood
tagged correctly, or legibly? I can't tell what it's supposed to
say, or be. I hope you can get it repaired for a minimal cost to you.

I think it's supposed to say "Hi" as in, "Hi, I know you're inside banging my girlfriend right now".
I just talked to someone who has a frend at a body shop. He said he could get it off, "no problem", for $100. I think I'll just take it in to him and see what they can do. The clay bar is going to take a couple days to get here anyway.

Hi? I doubt it. I don't think an angry X would spray Hi.
I think the angry X would spray something a little more manly,
or done more damage to your Z. Put yourself in that position,
if you can, it's hard I know. If you were going to go through
the trouble of spraying a BEAUTIFUL Z, I'm sure you'd be a
little bit more creative than Hi.? I honestly believe if it was an X
he would have let you know how he really felt.
However if your pal can get it off for a bill, that's GOOD news.

Yeah. You're probably right. This guy is kind of a sissy, though, and they did just break up like 2 days ago after being together for 2 years.
It just makes me feel better to picture him sobbing and saying her name while doing it.

hey man this might sound kinda sketchy but i would try it. if you take a dry erase expo marker and color over the spray paint area with it, it may allow the paint to rise an allow you to wipe it off. when things get written on with permanate marker and you color the expo over it and wipe off the expo marker the permanate marker comes off with the expo. i mean jus try like a little section were the spray paint is. like 2mm. i am not guarantein anything but it would be a shot. skrewin up 2mm more is not goin to make that all much of a dif.
but hey man i am sorry for ya. some people are jus not proffessional
