Some idiot scraped My Z, need help

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I thought the scrape someone left on mine was bad. But wow... I can't believe someone could do that and not notice. Much

It's reasons like this that everyone wonders why I'm late to work every day. Cause it takes me forever to find that perfect parking spot, and even then I move my car later on when business dies down.

Sorry to see those scrapes. Honestly though, get a professional to do it. You paid a lot of money for this car and what if you want to sell it someday? You may not mind that the color isn't a perfect match but, the person buying might. Just some thoughts. $350 isn't that much. I just paid $225 to fix a chip on the roof of the car that you could barely see. Do it right man.......

if $350 is beyond your budget right now, i'd just drive around with those scrapes until you find the cash. no point in wasting money attempting to fix it and you may make it worse if you don't know what you're doing.

man that sucks it happened to be but lucked out they left contact info.

350.00 seems to cheap also. mine had more damage than yours. but if you have any kind of damage to the fender at all replace it and get it painted right.
in the long haul you won't regret it.

Luckily, that's only on the plastic. I'm going to go out on a limb here and tell you to not get it fixed until you graduate and no longer have to park there. Chances are, you will get it fixed, and before you know it... BAM... again.

you don't need to pay $350 to get that fixed. i have repainted a whole new bumper for a $40 budget using paint from Touch Up Paint Online - Remove Car Scratches. $40 includes the sand paper and clearcoat that you will also need.
