that sucks man. Sorry to hear about it. I would just go to a painter and get a price. If the price is crazy then go to insurance. Well anything over 500.

I think some insurance companies cover vandalism without raising your

thanks i will for sure look into this week!

hopefully not... but the thing is that they have to paint the whole panel and color match it i would assume its very labor intensive.

Yep, went through insurance. I have a $500 deductible, so I kinda got raped there. That's what ex-gf's do I guess...

BUT... I took advantage of this. Body shop told me insurance is paying for all the paint. Bought a Nismo V2 kit, and just had to pay for the prep work.

Make sure they wet sand it then final polish before they hand it back to you or you will see the difference in the paint.

Wow! That's crazy! I have the same exact marks on my car.. Someone broke into my car a while back and keyed it at the same spot as yours. At least you don't have a busted window. Hope you can fix it dude I still haven't even bothered to fix mine.

Sorry to see that bro. There are haters out there who simply do things to lash out their jealousy and anger towards you. Believe, i know how it feels. At least it wasn't the entire car, and only the quarter panel. Wish your car full recovery soon.

I'd get an estimate from a decent body shop, it might not be that bad. You'll have to pay one way or the other, up front out of your pocket or a rise in your insurance plus the deductible. Sorry, I feel your pain.
While their loved ones are watching... hey it's going to deliver the message

If the scracthes aren't to deep you might get lucky and just hve too rub it out. Try taking it to a detailer for this if you can't rub it out yourself.
they are the deepest they can get, whoever did it was dead serious....I tried to buff it out but it didn't do anything
