Default Driveway Incident!

Yea just wat the title said in my very own driveway. More pics of the damage to come. It was nice meeting up with Chris from Glimmer Glass Detailing. Was suppose to be a normal day for getting my car detailed. I left my house at like 1:10pm met up with Chris like at 1:30pm. First he pointed out that i had a dent on the hood and low and behold a dent. I knew the dent had to be done today as the car was basically at the house most of the time except when i went to pick up and drop off my wife at work. I also worked on the car Saturday, kind of like doin a quick detail and my wheels and the interior a little bit. I also check my lights to see if they were workin saturday. I was pissed as i start makin phone calls. Called my mother in law and her friend. They both said no they didn't hit my car. I dont know who did but that was the only 2 cars that was parked in front of me today. I told Chris just continue with the detail and I must say it was well worth it. I will be heading to lexus to get this fixed asap, hopefully in time for the EOS on 10/26/08, if not i will be goin in another car.

my grille and emblem has the exact same cracks. I thought it was my car when I saw the pics! I got the smoky granite touch up paint and painted over the white cracked spots of the grille.

These 2gen grills are delicate and rocks have a terrible effect on them at high speeds.
