Was sort of a bittersweet day for me today..... Here's the story.

I picked up my car from the shop today (Guaranteed Auto Guam) and was very happy with how it turned out.... They fixed up all the dings, scratches, and fixed my hood...they also shaved my antenna, installed 92-94 foglights, and did my eyelids. I picked it up at around 3pm and headed to class. I was thirsty so I decided to stop by the store near the university for a drink. I saw my friend there and we were talking about class when all of a sudden I heard a thump and then I turned around and saw a small ball bounce off the roof of my car!!!! WTF!!!!! I thought it was a pingpong ball at first so I didn't do anything and started talking to my friend again... A few minutes later ANOTHER ball hits the asphalt near our cars and I was like wtf!!! So I'm looking around from where it came from, I knew it was from behind the building....but the only thing behind the building is jungle/grass... So I'm assuming some guy was hitting ***** from a distance??? So I'm left with a little ding/dent on my roof, right next to the sunroof. Man, what luck I have!!! Good thing the ball didn't hit the glass. argh, well yea, at least I have new paint. Now I have to go back to the shop to get it fixed... Unless there's another way you guys can recommend me?

sigh....here's the pic. More pics tomorrow, I only got to take one pic because I was in a hurry for class and it's night now....

 

Hey Juan, I love it.. Silver.. Or is it?... We want pics from angles now bro!!!!.. Looks great!.. Sorry about the dint too...

Chris

 

It's called vapor blue metallic or something. I expected it to be a little more silver, but yeah... I think it turned out pretty good. Check out this photochop darden made for me awhile back, it almost looks like my paint. lmao

and yeah IM BAD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks nice and clean Juan, congrats with the new paint job. Is it a factory OEM color, or customized? And if you don't mind, can you give us a hint on the cost of the paint job?

 

here was darden's chop....

The color is a Lexus color... I think it started appearing on RX300's and LX470's in 2001. All in all....it ran me $1,800. But that was free because of insurance money!

 

Looks fantastic juan! I look forward to more pics. Sorry to hear about your roof seems for some things if you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all.

 

Hmmm, now that I think of it.... If it wasn't for my bad luck/accidents, I wouldn't have this paint!

Thanks for the comments guys... I'll get more pics up tomorrow, and one of the dent too!

 

it keeps bothering me so I took a pic...

 

Paint looks great!
Sucks about the new dent though

 

Wow!! They did a good job with the paint.

How is it that your insurance co payed for a complete paint job?

 

Hey Juan have you ever seen the movie "A Bronx Tale"? Well you are like Mush, when you go to the race track, they give you your tickets already ripped up!! Bad luck bro LOL

I really like that new color man, especially the eyelids and dark headlights, looks like a Sportsdesign ES! Nice job, now go buy a armored car to drive in front of you!!!!

More pics man

 

There are companies that can take small dents out....Dent Wizard and DentWorks are two that come to mind....don't know if they operate in your area..check the Websites. A job like that looks like about $100 or so...less sometimes if they don't have to travel .

 

hey juan welcome to the new "lexus" paint job club
lol!!!
the color look hellva good you just got officially PIMPED!!!!!!!!!

 

tight color!

 

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your ES is absolutely beautiful!

I am speechless.......

BTW, I don't quite understand, how did the insurance company wind up paying your bill?
