Default My 350Z vandalised :-(

I was so happy to take my car out today after installing 07 seibon T.S. CF hood with Aerocatch hood locks, Mastergrade CF hatch and Mastergrade T.S. rear diffuser. It took me 5 long days to do it all my self. I even changed my oil today. It was soposted be my last ride of this season before storing my car for the winter. I was boosting happy and enjoying my car with new mods till I heard loud BANG to my passenger side. It was night time so I pulled over into the first car wash to check my car under the light and look what I found . Looks to me by the size and the dent like some a$$hole shoot at my car from pallet gun.. It happened in Allentown PA on Hamilton street and 18th st
My camera sucks. Sorry for bad pix.

Few hundred? Don't they have to re-spray the whole door?

Sorry to hear about that man, it sucks to hear about these sort of things because they are hard to prove. Unfortunately, the paint is chipped to the bare metal, trust me, you are going to have to fix and re-spray the whole door. I know you are avoiding this and it can be temporarily touched up and buffed with touch up however, you would merely be compromising the show quality of your Z with some measly touch up paint... Hope everything works out, I am sure you will get er' back to her old condition in no time...

For now I just remove door panel in order to hummer out dent and temporarily touch it up with touch-up paint. I really don't want to leave my Z at the body shop so after the winter I will take my door off of my car and take tham to the shop. Overnight I was thinking that maybe I should just upgrade my door to Carbon fiber, but than at the same time I don't want my car to be overdone with to much CF.
