Getting Patched Up at Shine Auto Project
Ever since my complete repaint last summer, I had nothing but bad luck with this car.
Here are some of the noteworthy incidents
1. I had a scrape and run incident in the parking lot at work and it damaged both the rear bumper and quarter panel
2. A neighbor backed into my front bumper
3. Side skirt got damaged while rushing out of a driveway
4. Then the car got keyed in front of my apartment
So I finally brought the car back in to Shine Auto Project this weekend so that she could get all patched up back to her old glory

I'm glad to see it getting fixed. The car will be perfect when it's done.

This is awesome! (Yet I cringe if some j@cka$$ hates on your car again.) I hope you will have better luck this time with your paint.

Glad you didn't lose faith in the SC after the setbacks you've experienced.

Good luck with your progress. You have some very bad luck. I love the chrome wheels also!
