Default Paint Transfer Mod...

GF got up early to leave for work this morning. 5 minutes after she leaves I get a call from her...
"Don't freak out..."

Mother of God.

Nothing major, but a repaint is necessary.

Here we go:
I parked the car like on Tues/Wed, and the lot was full. Not my normal parking location. Been sick all week, so no driving/moving it.
As I walked up to it...

Close-ups. Went under the lip of the bumper (near DRLs/Fogs) all the way to front plate cover.


For reference:

PS. Those arrows in the street are new. Whoever did them put ALOT of curve in it. No wonder someone freaking hit me.

Of course not.
Campus police are going to review the security video footage. Hopefully they catch these SOBs.

Debating on whether I should get my insurance involved. Co-pay is going to hurt.

If they find the person that hit your car, do NOT tell your insurance. Just let the other person`s insurance take care of it. But, if they dont find them, then try to just pay for it out of pocket. I wouldnt tell your insurance, unless your really needed to.

That sucks bro.

Im guessing your deductible is >$500... its not going to cost that much, so i wouldnt get insurance involved.

LOL. No, she would've probably started that phone call with a different opening line:
"You love me right?"
"Don't kill me."
"Don't slap me around again..."

UPD told me they wont tell me if they find out who hit me. WTF? I guess they're afraid of retaliation (not saying I wouldn't) but still, wtf, I HAVE to know to get their insurance to flip the bill, right? So dumb.

Yeah, deductible is $500 (I think). I hate that my car keeps getting "pieces" painted when idiots hit me/do damage/etc.
I'd REALLY like to just get the driver's side of the car repaired (See: https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...de-swiped.html) and maybe a new fender since the aftermarket one fits stupid.
Why couldn't the jackass REALLY do some damage and crack the bumper/fender! jk.

So I called UPD this afternoon.
Officer had no clue what I was talking about. Said he'd have to do some research and get back to me.

Christ.
