F your trunk!
Ever since I tore the factory wing off, I've rolled with red electrical tape covering the holes awaiting a new trunk. I had planned to just buy a red low-rise this week and call it done until somebody decided they hated my trunk as well.
Not worth my deductible, so meh, it is what it is. It's been a few days so I've gotten over it.
I took 3000 grit and compound and cleaned it up, it's not gone, still rather noticeable but it looks better, did this the next morning and made an addition to it-
Photos courteousy of the BlackBerry so they made it looks quite nice buffed
.
Time to source a wingless victory red out!

OP, search car-part.com
W/ a quick search of the Hampton area (23665 zip iirc), it looked like there were a few red trunks available ranging from $100-$350. Call around if you're really looking for one bro!

Thanks man, I'm from Michigan and have found some cheaper back home looking now.
Not gonna stress it, unfortunately I've received some news about a family member that puts anyhing car related on the back burner.

F the haters, yeah I'm low-rise now but I like the added look, I think I may drop the rear level now nad lose the rake to compensate. Salvage yards here in VA suck for price and quantity compared to back home! I'm content though-

If it makes you feel any better, someone bashed my car with a shopping cart at kroger once.
They wouldn't look at the tape for me to get insurance stuff either.
Worst part, I work there.
Eff you employers!

I had the compound and repair kit as my rear bumper got tapped and scuffage from an employee's Silverado. Older woman whom parked on my bumper way across her line prior, and had the night before I had noticed the damage.
They too didn't look into it, though her bumper lines up nicely where my scuffage is no other parking I do allows such to happen.
I'm still somewhat pissed about that, but I've since chose a new space and laugh every time I see her front tire at the line and frontend hanging into the other spot.
This car is bad exterior luck, 3 smalls thing have happened not caused by me and none of the above have been worth my deductible. Gouge in front bumper took place by the dealer after I had looked at it, prior to walking in with a check for it, lol.

Just going to point out this was from January, and that's a bitch thing to say Matt regarding my car being keyed but I'm going to pull your card soon. No problems.
You're nothing more than a corn kernal in the **** I take.
