I'm sorry to hear bout your car I feel for you I really do. My whole car was keyed back in February. I had a "custom" flame job on my hood all sorts of crap written on the driver's side, scratches all over the car. I'd try to see if the scratch will buff out, if it doesn't you're gonna have to get it painted. A body shop will be expensive, but a cf hood isn't a bad idea it would look sick with the red!

 

Like I said, call around and get quotes. If they get too expensive, go the CF hood route.
CF looks good on red if done tastefully.

 

Goto a shop and let them look at it..........many shops will know in a matter of minutes if it is buffable with their polish and buffers........if not get a quote........if quote is higher than $350......go get a CF hood........CF would look so nice on that car........Seibon stock or vented or even Kaminari if you got money to spend........jus tbe sure to buy a name brand one that is made well........

 

and you are right. haha it does not look like it changed at all. after an hour of working on it. i did get the other lighter scratches around my car off. but not this one.. sigh!






the scratch just looks cleaner and clearer. haha sigh. it is so embarassing driving around with that gigantic scratch. it only looks good in pictures from a distance now. haha

sigh.. i used the scratch x like 8 times

 

Julie, get a CF hood! haha.

 

If you can hang your nail in it, then its far too deep...someone keyed my passenger fender really deep and the dealer touch up paint doesn't match correctly...
I've seen CF hoods on rs1's it looks fine, get bluebat's overlays if you don't want the lines of the car to look off

 

if i got keyed with a stocked rs1, wouldn't you think "haters" would just key me some more with a cf hood? haha

 

I got my first dent on my front right fender no longer then a week after I bought my car. Went in to the movies, came out, there it was...I was really ____ed. I also have a few scratches up above the door and was reading around and decided just to leave it. I heard too many times that the touch-up paint is hard to match correctly. The last thing I want to do is highlight the scratch with off-color paint..

 

omg your car...... !!!! those haters... wtf...

 

claim it as vandalism with your insurance and file a police report...

get the estimate for an oem hood with paint and then but a CF hood or something and pocket the rest.

 

i knowww you have no idea how hard it was to not tear up during my mum's brunchh and at work. haha

i have the most basic insurance so i doubt anything will happen. haha i cannot afford the insurance otherwise.

=] yay for me!

 

if i saw anyone doing that to a tc.. id stab them in the eye with my key..!... (excuse me.. what r u doing.. stab) jk... or am i

 

i parked next to a bmw. why did they choose to scratch my car. like seriously. why be jealous of my car when there was a ridiculous beautiful 745i right next to me...

i do not understand guys. i really do not. haha

 

same thing happen to friend of mine except they did it on 3 different panels.. and broke is left turn signal.. really really deep scratches.. so compared to that.. u got off good lol!

 

I think its more of a hate towards tC's, maybe they wanted one but got a Kia instead

 

Maybe they wanted you to get a CF hood...sort of a mean way to suggest it though..lol

 

you guys really think a cf hood looks great on red? i saw a picture of it and it was not that great

 

..EH... if u like the black on red.. look sure..

 

see you think it looks weird too right? haha

 

get a kamanari reverse cowl hood, non-CF
