D*mn It!!!!

I nudged a jeep while backing out of parking space, now I small rift in my rear bumper, like an inch long.

Having a new car is pain, I swear.

Anyone else have small deficiencies in on there exterior?

Pristine exteriors never last......gotta face it. You or someone is eventually going to do somthing to F it up.

No the paint is fine, but the actuall bumper plastic has a mark in it, the force of the nudge pushed the reinforcement into the back of the bumper leaacing a small impression.

Its not very noticable. But still. Damn

Some Hispanic bitch in a Highlander Hybrid tagged the back of my car and lied to insurance about it. So now all around my license plate there's paint missing.

i got rammed in the ass by my cousins nissan frontier due to a guy choking his car out prior to a street race. it isnt very noticable but theres ripple looking creases in the bumper and the license plate area has a pretty good dent in it. all things consider it isnt too bad to be honest considering I got hit by a truck and pushed into a z28 camaro. the bumper wasnt hurt too bad either but its been replaced due to another accident.

i got my car washed 2 days ago, and i noticed something hit my car along the side of the driver rear. might have been a cart. idk. all i know is i didn't hit anything. there's 1 big series of scrapes and smaller ones about a foot or so away from that. maybe it can buff out. i hope.

Someone hit my car while it was in a parking lot. Musta hit it pretty good too, because the front plate was mangled, and theres an inch crack in the front bumper near the headlight, and it doesnt match up perfectly at the side.

When I had my Cavalier, I went to a bike and blade trail. I got back to my car and found that not only did someone park so close to my car I could barely squeeze between, let alone even open the driver's door. I backed out and checked the door thinking, "Eh, if they parked that close, they probably didn't have a passenger......" Yeah right. They had one. One who was wearing something with a zipper on it cause they doored my car 3 different times, then left a scratch the WHOLE way back the side of the car from said zipper. So I pull back in the spot to check just to make sure it was them. Sure enough my green paint on their black door. ******* had a Vue too with the dent resistant panels, but out of sheer anger I actually slammed my door into theirs hard enough to leave a small crack in their door. Had I had pliers, I think for their level of assinine behavior I would have taken their stem caps with me as souvenirs.

you have no idea
i LOVE my car and it seems like the quality keeps going down. I'm slowly getting it all fixed though and hopefully will be sexy again by summer. I backed into a truck (similary to your experience), except I damaged about a foot by six inches of my rear driver-side quarterpanel. And I hit some ice going around a turn and slide into snow pile... i'm now missing my front lip. Add in all the little nicks and **** from highway driving... oh yeah, i feel ya on this one.

This "cruising season" i'm hoping to have it all fixed and I'm waxing and buffing the whole thing the first nice day we get.
