These pics might help illustrate the damage better...the key marks near my gas cap are by far the worst

that sucks but it doesnt compare to my buddies mustang. he left the car out over night and someone keyed every panel. the bumpers were beyond repair, 6 hammer dents in the through and every panel looks like a checkerboard of key marks. they even took time to do between the windows and on the door handles and mirrors. also they wrote like f*ck you and stuff on the hood. car ended up just being a complete. ill try to dig up some pics from my boss.

It is probally someone you know, that was anrgy at you. Just don't bring it up around your friends. Someone will ask you about it, and you fill find the person that did it. Then proceed to beat the living tar out of them. Sorry about your car, it could have been a lot worse like the pervious post.

Ah, man.. I feel you on this one. Will insurance cover something like that?


Someone took to the liberty of busting the windshield on my old Firebird and keyed my Camaro in damn near the same spot. The rear brake lines on my Firebird were mysteriously sliced once too.

Well, the thing is that insurance is paying for the damages cause by my car getting keyed. I want the whole car painted which i was quoted at 3800. Insurance is helping out with $750.00 + my low $200.00 deductable. So im looking at about $3300.00 some dollars

Sucks that your car got its window smashed. The body shop i went to looked at my car and said "Thats it??" They've had people come in with every panel keyed far past the point of totaling the car.
