you guys dont see it but the car actually hit my headlight too...there is a big white scuff mark on my lens... the scuff is actually pretty deep... and Im not completely sure but I think there is a hairline crack in my housing... if so...i could always seal it up but there will be moisture issues in the future im sure. so replacing it would be in my best interest...who knows? .. anywho insurance will take over at this point and I will be damned if I let this get to me...by EOS i WILL have my car back to pristine order.

Good luck getting everything back together by the EOS Meet. As several mentioned, at least it seems to have been isolated to the fender and headlight. As bad as it seems, if it was a pickup or other large SUV, it's possible they did not even know they hit you. Not making excuses, but it looks like they hit a soft area that would not provide much "feedback".

that sucks.... i just had a hit and run a few days ago also. Some white car got my rear bumper.... it looks like its just cosmetic for me. I dont think a new bumper is necessary but damnit I might as well be bodykit shopping!!! plus some bird from hell shat on my hood and the thing ate through so quickly! by the end of the day I washed it off ....wetsanded... waxed....buffed and the bird residue is still there!!! *Egadz* things are sucking.....
btw what shop are you having your repairs done at? I'm in need of a shop also and am looking for more options as I might just opt to paint my whole car.
btw does anyone know how much to paint the whole car would cost? I'm looking for some nice deep luster type black..... kinda like the BMW Carbon Black..... something where swirls wouldn't show so much. A Black pearl would be awesome!!!
pS I have extra headlights if you need panda..... I'm going to retrofit some headlights soon so my headlights on my car right now wont be needed in the near future.

HATERS!!!! Why do people disrespect our cars like that???!!!!!!
Judging from this photo, there's a little paint missing. I would search the parking lot for weeks, hours on end until I found out which of my fellow employees was responsible (awaiting a beat down!).

Hunt this person down!
The reward thing sounds like a good idea.

damn haters
Sorry to hear about the hit & run. About 2 months ago someone in a Truck pick-up backed up & put a grapefruit size hole in my QUEST Carbon fiber & fiberglass bumper. It was hit & run in a parking too.
Some witnesses saw the whole thing but the guy sped off before someone could get a plate #. It took my body shop guy almost 2 weeks to get her back into shape. Friggin mother-fathers!!!
Good luck & don't let these a-holes stop you from enjoying your car.

Ouch, I could just imagine what I would feel if I see that as I walk to my car after a long hard day at work. It will get my blood boiling!
Please keep us updated on your detective work. Like someone said, you should e-mail the entire company and give a $100 cash reward if someone knows something. Make sure you tell that person that you will keep him/her anonymous.
I'm sure you'll find your guy that way.
