People have no respect for others property. What ever happened? Did you find out who did this? Get your car fixed?

To make it more fun, they're all about 1-2 inches long and there's about 3 or 4 of these scrapes on the passenger side of my car...Well... I'm pissed off as hell. I'm having a ****ty week. I dont have any gaskets for my Perrin testpipe, I have a fat exhaust leak and I'm using stock gaskets that are too small on either sides of my testpipe. Was told today from LogicPerformance to "use the old gaskets"... but why the hell would you use a stock 2.something " gasket on a 3" exhaust?!? I have a tune at Vishnu this Saturday and I want my exhaust to be flowing like it's supposed to before then... And why does no one but the dealership have touch up paint? Anyone know the paint code for Graphite Grey?? God hates me this week.
stop by our shop, we have some 3" gaskets here. I will give them to you for free and hope you feel better.

And whoever did that to your car, what comes around goes around. cuz Karma is a Biotch!

Sorry to hear about your car.


Regarding gaskets: Why not just use high temp. copper gasket maker? Works just as good.

BTW guys: I think I've figured out who did this... May be an accident, may not be...? I remember in the morning when I went down to warm up my car, there was a big truck with a bunch of crap in it and a gardener worker guy next to my car with a bunch of equipment, trimming our bushes and stuff (we did'nt hire them, the Home Owners Association did). I strongly believe they're the ones to do it... but I guess I'm F'd because I dont have any proof. I do park my car very close to the right edge of the driveway (our driveway is somewhat small) so while he was leaving his equipment might have scraped the **** out of my car. Any way I can get them to pay for this? I was going to write a letter to the home owners association and complain (not that they'd help much). I was talking to my friend last night (who has a pretty keen eye for marks on cars), and he said he did'nt notice anything on my car the night before. So if there was nothing on my car from the night before, and there WAS **** on my car at breakfast, then it must've been the gardeners....

I feel bad for you. I just fixed the door dings that I had from when I lived in my old apartment. Now my baby is in a garage! I sure hope you can get that fixed very soon and put this behind you!

I just ordered touchup paint from lancershop.com and I guess that's all I'm going to do... Insurance does'nt let you claim on vandalism unless you claim on your comp deductibles, which I dont want to do unless it's something really really bad... no sense raising my insurance premium. i'm clearing out my garage tonight and going to start parking my Evo inside... the main reason I did'nt want to park inside was because when my parents/grandparents get out of my parent's car, they're very careless about opening their doors and just open the doors right onto my car. I used to park my 240 inside and a week later, i had 20 different new dent. I parked my car outside to avoid dents... but I guess dents are better than down-to-the-metal- scrapes.

The only way insurance would cover this, is if i had proof of who did it. If not, it's just vandalism and they wont cover it unless you go into your own deductibles, which raise your premium... at least that's how my insurance company works (lame!).

I would definately let the home owners association know and I'd also file a police report.
