Well over the past 3 months ive gotten some dings on my tC, im so ____ed, i dont have much money, im only 16 had my car before my license, but i need some suggestions on what to do. these two are from when a bicyclist came across, cut infront of my and scratched my whole front bumper.

and this was my stupidity being lazy to go around the street and turn my car around to park it in the garage, so i tried backing in, watching the side with my moms benz, having fogged up windows and scrapped the garage, hit the side of my garage

If u look closely theres a small dent right above the line where the side panel and bumper meet, crazy thing is i got estimated 1300 to fix this thing, didnt even bother extimating my front bumper. Any sugg? Body kit maybe? i can get the dent out of the panel for like a couple hundred, and maybe a body kit to fix the bumpers, i dont think anything will happen again, im paranoid about everything now, just had to learn the hard way. Thanks for the help[/img]

 

either get a body kit or get it fixed. Either way you have paint to pay for. When you get a body kit you have the extra parts to buy. Good luck getting it fixed though. I would be freaked out having a new car that was messed up. When I first bought my cougar new in 99 someone dented the fender and I had it fixed the next day luckily it was paintless dent repair.

 

oh man, you need to take care of that thing. i have small scratches on mine, but none were my fault. youre going to have to pay no matter what; too bad paint wasnt in the warranty huh?

 

i had a question about the ground effects kit, is it just bolt on to the bumpers or will they replace the bumpers and side skirts?

i believe they cut part of the bumper off to put the kit on. the side skirts just swap out.

 

I have 3 dings/scratches so far =/.

1 is a mysterious dent around my gas cap.
2 is a mysterious scratch on the front left of the fender.
3 is a small scrape that was caused by a stupid b!tch in a 3000gt (or was it a Tiburon?). I was in line to get outa the school parking lot and she was trying to get in behind me but the guy behind me wasn't letting her in. So she edged up closer and closer untill she lightly hit my fender. It was so light that there's no dent, just a scratch and some of her paint.
