RE: My Stupidity = $$
Get it fixed.. it will never go away.. and you don't want your new car to have baggage. You want to smile when you see it.. not think.. "god damn car jack".
I was obsessed with cleaning my car the first year.. and as a result of learning how to maintain a black car and some carelessness, accidently let the hose from a "do it yourself" car wash touch my hood. The hose was a little frayed in the middle, and a piece of wire was sticking out (stuff that reinforces the hose).. of course that was the part that I dragged over my beautiful, mirror-like brand new black hood. I still see it to this day.

Definately get it repainted. Or better yet, buy an aftermarket front bumper.[8D] And grilles, and a hood.
C'mon, you're going there eventually.....

Your right though, even if I touch it up myself and it is not that noticable to any one else it will still drive me crazy becasue I know I will notice it every time I look at it.

It is bad enough when you find a nice scratch on your car you thenwant to kill the person who did it, it is even worse when you scratch it your self. I was being a little to careless when I was moving some things around in my garage and needless to say when i was moving my car jack I hit the front left fender and dented italong with taking a dime size chunk of paint out all the way down to the metal.
Now I have a decision to make. Do I either use touch paint and mask it the best that i can or do I just go and get the whole fender repainted? Suggestions are welcomed!

I feel your pain, luckily what I did was self repairable with some Meguires scratch fixer....

Nice car and color by the way...........good choice!

RE: My Stupidity = $$
the second day i had my 08 gt i found a nice scratch right behind the gas door (and it wasnt from the filler thing) i still cry every time i look at it and none of these "magical scratch removers" work so...im just gonna wait and get the bottom half of my car painted and go with a two tone thing
