Are you effing kidding me?!!!!!!!!!!

[controlo]

ok. i'm sure a lot of you guys already know that my '07 sunlight silver was egged a few weeks after getting it. i stressed and stressed over what to do about it. i finally decided to touch it up the best i could and live with it. i thought a lot about having the panel resprayed but i have anxiety about the shop matching the color 99%/or messing something else up in the process.

so. i walk outside tonight with my g/f. we were just going to take the car out for a ride and she says "what's that on your car?" "it's egg"

****! (bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)
(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)
(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)(bang)

******* haters man! i'm 99% sure the egg only hit one panel. which, fortunately, was the same panel that was egged the first time. the driver door. there are like 2 very small chips that made their way onto the rear driver door.

it's obvious now that i'm going to have to have it resprayed. if it doesn't turn out the way i want it to, i'm gonna have to get rid of it.

i'm not gonna hold my breath...

i feel your pain my car was egged when it had less then 5k miles on it i have 2 big egg shaped paint chips on my driver side door now =(

 

[altspace]

Someone not like you?

i'm sorry about that man. that's exactly what happened to me. i'm glad i atleast waited to repair the first egging though since it got egged again.

Someone not like you?

idk man. i didn't think so. i mean, it's always a possibility. my car has been egged twice and the family jeep egged once also. idk what gives. it's leading me to believe that someone i know did this. everyone knows how much i love my car. they just wanna see me down i guess.

i'm researching to find the best quality oe paint repair i can. i know there's someone out there that can match this. there has to be.

i've seen a few jobs, quickly, that looked pretty good when i was researching this the first time. but idk. i'm gonna be looking into this for the next few days.

i was just talking with my gf about whether or not i should keep it due to finances. and i always stress over whether or not i should get the original chips repaired. i'm glad i didn't now. then i was just like, "wanna go for a ride?"

we get outside and there it is. unholy yellow and white goo.

i'm so bummed out.(sick)

its time to do a stake-out and catch those fools!
my suggestion is red bulls, either a nice paint ball gun or pellet gun (the automatic ones) and patience....
may take a few nights but it will be soooo worth it!

 

[clos561]

paintball gun! hit the car up and chase them

 

[jville]

you guys are way to nice, paintballs and pellets? here in florida if someone comes on your property and you feel threatened, its legal to unload. but then again if you come in my yard, make it all the way up the driveway (big yard) without the dogs either attacking you or barking and waking me up to come shoot you, then hell you deserve to vandalize something. I'm not talking kill someone, just pepper them with some birdshot.

yea i know that, but paintball is fun. they are probably young teens having fun. a few paintballs to the chest (or the face) can straighten that out.

 

[jville]

paintball while fun doesn't IMO make up for the time you now have to take to find a decent bodyshop, get a quote, claim on insurance if thats what u wanted to do, have the downthim for the panel to get painted, then the possiblilty that it will no be right (runs, fisheyes,mismatch,metalflake lays odd). I take great pride in my car and its an investment that i pay lots of money to own and operate so egging my car to me is like punching me in the face.

 

[controlo]

yeah. paintballs are definitely not what i had in mind.

the fact that my car is the only car that got egged makes me wonder if it's somebody out to get me.

and here in california, atleast in my neighborhood, there aren't any fences so it's pretty easy for someone to come into your yard.

my girlfriend saw a white acura integra DA driving nasty in our neigborhood just after we saw the egging. we drove around a bit and spoke with this guy who says the night before, his friend was outside waiting for him and some guys in a white integra were about to throw a brick into her window and noticed she was in the car. she got the plate number. i'm gonna give that guy a call today.

i agree jville: it's not really the downtime that's important to me but i pay a lot of money for this car for somebody to mess it up. i e-mailed SPECIALTY CAR CRAFT. they do luxury and exotic cars. hopefully they're willing to take on a car like mine. it says they accept insurance claims and stuff. i'll be in contact with them today.

this sucks.

 

[jville]

Well you don;t really need an exotic car body shop to do it. jaxjeff had a lil fenderbender and i refered him to a local shop with the shiznit of a painter. his paints shade, flake lay, and shine are dead on. Best thing to do is ask around and check out a shops past works.

 

[Kain]

Have your car repainted yellow and white. That'll show 'em!

yeah, i agree. i just want to take it somewhere great the first time. i'm pretty much willing to do whatever it takes to have this come out 100%.

i've had the car for about 16mo, i hope there's no paint fade...

 

[phillyb]

whoa, that ******* sucks for you.

Ha-ha! Unless, of course, someone determines to return fire with something more lethal.

 

[CoolWhip]

My car was egged once before, luckily I bought a car cover the week before.
