Went down to the parking garage and noticed someone had keyed my hood. It’s circular in shape and is around 20 inches long. They scratched right though the clear coat and down to the primer. It’s a 1998 240sx deep fuschia. I want to get it fixed right away but am cautious because it might happen again. Anyone know of any top notch body shops that they can recommend? Money is no object. I’ve heard of a few - MS auto, 427 collison, etc. Anyone have other shops that they’ve had positive experiences with? I’ve done a search and came up with a few shops but want to keep my options open. Thanks. ---

It happened sometime between late Friday night and Saturday morning/afternoon. The Saturday before, I noticed a lighter scratch on my hood, not as deep but noticable. I am going to talk to the super to see if there’re any security tapes of the garage. It’s not a low end garage, but it doesn’t exactly have the highest security. I’ve noticed a couple other cars with the same scratches on their hoods as mine, though not as deep. I’m afraid it’ll happen again and want desparately to catch these punks. I feel like sleeping in my car just so I can catch them. ---

Sorry if I’m no help in here but I just wanna say that sucks… I myself have had my car keyed in my school parking lot before… from the front fender all the way back to the rear quarter panel. ☹ ---

If your looking for a quick fix and would just like the hood repaired, take some pics of it and i may be able to help you out with that one. My cousin owns a body shop and i’ve worked there for a couple years so i have enough knowledge to pretty much redo an entire vehicle…and something as simple as that would be pretty easy. Best thing to do is, get it properly fixed (which i could do) than send it off the the painters. This way you’ll not only save some money but you’ll get the proper color oriented back with your scheme. And Solarian…what happend to the sig dude??? ---

^^ Oh man, thats so simple to fix. If you want, i could prep that for you…this way you’d only be paying to get the car painted, rather than having to hassel with the labour of prep at the shop. ---

Man, my car has been through so much since I bought it in 2005. First month I had it, a taxi hit my front right fender. Then an SUV backed into me, bending my hood and causing over $3,000 in damages. Last year, some a\*\*hole smashed my back window and passenger side window. Now this. What is it about my car? Is it the colour? It’s getting to the point where a guy can’t even drive a decent car anymore without it getting hit/vadalized, etc. How much do you guys think it’ll cost to fix this? I take care of my cars and don’t want any half assed jobs. By the way, it’s an apartment building with underground parking. There are no security cameras. Any ideas on how to catch this person short of sleeping in my car? ---

10000volts, simple , all u need is a relay an alarm system with aux output, and a transformer from a underglow kit , jsut dont hook up one of the wires to the body of the car that come from the transformer is how i have “heard” u do it p.s. if someone does get hurt u can be in a lot of trouble ---

tbh, just read up and prep it yourself, its always a good learning experience(if you want that sorta thing) but if not, take it to somewhere reputable and have them prep it for you. The prep will determine whether or no the outcome will be good, so dont skip out on that. ---
