EVO X show but NO shine

I got hit by a metal debris from the 91 freeway today.
Good thing it didn't hit my windshield.

Needs to be repaired and painted, no more OEM paint
New clear bra.

Guys, should I put the Ralliart (Spirit of Competition) sticker back??















what a wonderful day!!!

That sucks that something hit your car. Somethings are almost impossible to avoid on the road when you're going fast. IMO I'd take that sticker off to make a cleaner look in the front end.

i dont think even thicker paint and bra will prevent this. It might prevent the paint getting scratched, but in the pics the hood is actually dent, all thanks to cheap a** paper thin japanese quality metal (well, has its up and downs i guess, up being light weight = faster car)

get a dry carbon fiber hood
