Default avant needs the hood repainted now

large chunks of tarmac being dribbled out of a truck did me that favor. Its down to the bare metal.

I got a few spots like that! How much do you expect it to cost?

I wasnt about to speed ahead force a multi ton truck to stop suddenly and then start a fight with a trucker so I can be late to work.

Default Just the hood, but not the fenders, bumper, etc??

Were you 3 inches from this truck or something?

Default 50 feet minimum. I had just merged onto the road and was behind it for less than 1/10th mi.

I exited immediately as not to incur any further paint damage.

I'll get the front bumper repainted at the same time as the hood. Joey's old bumper has freckles in the clearcoat.

I also need:

2001.5 headlights.
Tip ****er repair kit
R/F wheel bearing
Cat converter
Two more S4 wheels
Center console armrest cover

Wanna tell me where to get all that stuff?
