You have NO idea.... I don't even know where to go. I'm thinking Lex of PP but I'm not too sure if I have enough faith in them. Seeing how JM treated you I don't think that's an option either.

No one has done anything to it yet. Thank god it is not dented, it's down to the metal though. Blending is not going to be fun man.

I felt it when it happened. I doubled over from the pain lol.
Lexus of PP is was rated number 1 in the nation last year. I know Mike the manager over there. He is a great guy. Wish I would had originally brought my car there because he knows how picky I am, but they totally screwed up my TL.

I got the check from JM today, not sure if I will be getting it repainted again.

Oh really? That makes me feel a little better. I'm gonna go next week and see what happens. You think I should cover it from the elements until then or it should be fine exposed?

I would put a piece of tape on it for now, it can be clear tape.

Man that looks real painful, I was crying about mine that's way worse than mine. I got mine fixed, you can still see it but looks better pretty sure you should be good with a paint, make sure they blend it correctly.

Well I went in to talk to the paint specialist today about pricing and he quoted me $700 for the door and rear quarter panel. I am just too nervous to paint so much of the car and end up with two different colors like others have. I ended up paying $10 for a touch up and calling it a day. When I get tired of looking at it later down the line I'll consider painting it properly.

It hurts, but I think I would elect for the touch up to avoid the possibility to having a paint match problem

yea, good choice, because you might end up having to sell your car after it has been painted three times

I feel you. I parked on the left side of our garage (usually park on the right side) and slammed my door against a huge pot sitting against the wall. It made a gash in the lower side of the door. I did buy the Dent Package so Sewell is pounding it out and touching it up as I type this. You made the right decision. Don't let them repaint.

I had the Double Whammy this week and curbed my wheel as well. We have super high curbs here in Dallas and I was turning in the parking garage of my gym and could hear the wheel scraping for what seemed like forever. The curb rash is around 1/3 of my rim. They are fixing that too.

When these things happen we literally feel the pain.

I got my car back from Honda, the shop foreman had his best painter on my car. The car came out AMAZING! so happy with it. They went down the whole side of the car, hood, bumper and passenger fender. Just lowered the car today myself.
