Gonna be a body man soon!
 

Parked my car on the street at 8 this morning, came out at 10 and found a note on the window....

"I backed into the front of your car this morning.

I think there might be a crack by the lcense plate. Please call me with an estimate or let me know how to handle this."

She left her name/number....actually lives in the building next to mine, and bought a condo across the street. She had the dog in the back of her car and BAM she ran into my car parking.

So I told her it was $100 for the insert and I <a href="http://www.paintscratch.com/" target="_blank">bought a can of paint in an aresol can and clear coat</a> for about $60 shipped (got some cleaner and tack rags too).

She's going to write me a check for it and I'll see how well the paint matches. When I put the chrome strip on and pulled the center grill (which you don't have to), I broke the plate holder plastic fingers and it never set flush since...now it really doesn't sit flush!

I will post a procedure, I think a lot of people would like to see this. If it works well, I'm going to try and paint my key scratch on the side of the car.

When I bought the car new, it cost $125 to have the plate insert painted and it never really matched.

Well, I give her a credit for leaving her info instead of running away without telling you.
I had an incident to my V8 before, somebody ram the side of the car with shopping cart, giving nice7" scratch and no memo....

What can you do with the old one?
 

Fit park distance sensor mod...

Stealth anti-radar coating.

A couple of fog lights?

Expanding your options, huh? I thought you were a shoe man?

Plus, maybe she`s cute...

Shoe and Body man???

I was wondering that.....

I agree, it's refreshing...
 

that she was honest enough to leave a note and take responsibility. A lot of people would have just driven away. Right on!

Gotta check out her shoes!

And now she owes you...
