Got keyed, need opinions.

Got keyed, no apparent reason, smashed up the windshield too. The paint looks like it can be touched up but the windshield i think is pretty much done and is going to need replacing. Take a look.

And please excuse the water spots, too pissed to wash it after the apartment sprinklers attacked.

look at the deductible you have, but for such a small amount of damage it might be better paying for it on your own..

damn dude that sucks. Its a small amount of damage on the car just like I had/have when someone decided to egg the compact cars around the block at my parents place. Mine is still not taken care of after a year.

Do not drive with the goggles on my face.......very much. JK, not at all. Unfortunately when I got my insurance I messed it up and my comp deductible is a massive $1000. Talked to the police, did the report blah blah pretty much useless. But yeah since I'm obviously not paying my huge deductible (which will be revised ASAP) how much does it cost to get the windshield replaced?

Oh and to clarify those goggles hold sentimental value from when i lived in colorado, there's no lens in them, because it got destroyed when i took a fall on my snowboard. Which I gladly accepted over a crack in my head.

I don't know if it helps at all but I got keyed on the rear quarter panel and passenger side over the summer and it cost $650 to fix at the Chevrolet dealer, but my deductible was only $250 so the insurance picked up the rest. My guess is that the windshield will be the cheapest thing to replace, unless you opt for a really nice replacement or something.

My car got keyed on the drivers rear quarter panel. I have to have the entire qaurter, plus the part that goes up to the roof over the drivers door to the front painted as well since its all one piece and you can't color blend a black car. it sucks.

window is about 325 for someone to come out and put a new one in. I had one put in my Cobalt last week since a truck driver decided to loose a nice chunk of coal onto my car.

$0 comp dect for the win!
