Yeah i know how that goes, however a alarm might be the way to go plus it will get you cheaper insurence rates. It does suck about your car man and its wrose then i originally thought! I've had my cars egged and the windows shot out with a BB gun!(bad area of town) Well not my p5 but my all mystique.

Why don't mazdaspeeds come factory alarmed, I mean your paying the buck for the mazdaspeed not the low end model. Also, if some one did any thing to my car they would have some interesting stories to tell after they got out of the hospital and I got out of jail !

The closest I got was I had my grandma and my sister in the p5 and I passed some kids and I heard a rock type hitting noise. I stopped dead in the middle of the street but than concluded that I had kicked up a rock into the fender well... lol I was ready to get down
haha. yeah. it does look worse than it is in the pictures but its still really bad for eggs. the picture that has the most chips in it, they aren't noticable at all from about 2ft away. even at certain angles i have to search for it, but i still want to get it taken care of. haha, i think those are chimney's. thats funny though. yeah, i'm trying to get to the bottom of this. i only know one high school kid that lives in my neighborhood and he has his own house. i'm going to ask him if he had a party. hey chris, what did you do to fix the chips, if that was the case? how did it come out?
yeah, thats another possibility. i heard paint brushing matches very well. the only problem is how small the area is. i guess they could air brush the whole area and use clay bar or langka to remove the access paint. i know there are ways of making it look really good, i just can't find anyone that knows how to do it. i know metallic paints are hard to match but there has to be a freakin way. airbrushing is probably one of them. and i think if someone took the time to put on about 5 really really small coats on it would work. the metallic would rise to the top, but the top doesn't necessarily have to be higher than the paint... thanks for all your support guys. keep it coming. if anyone knows a good paint chip repair place in socal, please let me know. i'll travel.
oh, i don't know if you guys read but... i was thinking. what about a decal? would it be too big? i could get maybe a 12-14" mazdaspeed decal and it would cover the majority of the one on the door i think... if you're looking at the side of the car, its a couple inches further than the mirror. i'll post a pic later, my computer is being lazy.
i talked to a custom paint shop and he said that air brushing wouldn't work well because the metallic doesn't come out at the same pressure as the rest of the paint. he said the best thing to do is to cut and polish what he can and then maybe if i want, touch up and sand the ones i NEED to.
