I went to it ar Rokko (japanesse restaurant)
I'm not quite sure what was the street name, but I parked in front of tropical fish store.

At first I was hesitate to park there, but seems like it was an ok place since the car next to me was a brand new S class and 7 series so I parked there.

Yeah I'm thinking to change the color or trade my car for the evo X.
Thanks man ....

It was pretty bad. I tried to buff it but didn't work. So I guess I have to bring it to my bodyshop.

that sucks....

There's no point to trade in your car just for the scratches....just do a custom paint! through your insurance....

I was considering to paint it custom, but I decided to fix with same color.
I went to german autobody today.
They told me the cost is going to be 5-6K

This sucks. Good luck with the repaint.
Wow, $5-6k, I hope they throw in a clear bra for that price. Or try to get a quote at, at least, 2 other body shops.

I think that is what he was quoted to do a custom paint job on the whole car.
