Default ack! my fender! *cries*

Hey folks,
I just did a maintenance car wash (not as detailed...and no waxing). Two weeks ago, I found 3 little dings on my driver side fender (next to the headlight). I think someone hit my car while I was in class. The dings didn't look bad. I was gonna get them fixed by a Dent Wizard...but today I noticed the driver side fender was about a millimeter higher than the passenger side. The passenger side fender is flush with the hood while the driver side is slightly higher.

Who's up for some xA CF fenders? :D

dent wizard was useless for me, i had a ding, and it cost me 100$ to have them pop it out, and then after that the paint was cracked there so i had to pay 300$ to repaint the fender, wouldve been better off just letting the body shop do the whole thing

The paint cracked after the guy popped it out? That sucks! Maybe I'll just live with it...maybe even put a big vinyl bandaid on it yeah right.

How much is a new fender? hehe...

sorry to hear it, man. i have a ding on my rear driver's side door and i cry everytime i see it.
i guess it just can't be avoided. in parking lots, i try to find a space next to a curb and get as close to the curb as possible. if i can't find curb parking, i try to park next to nicer cars hoping that the drivers are more careful and minding people. sigh.

yeah, someone sideswiped my drivers side front bumper and fender last weekend. HIT and RUN too. ugh...just got my quote from the insurance company...1800!

nice way to throw money out the window...especially when I did nothing.
i think i found the dink who did this too. i filed it with the police, but they can't do anything about it without an eyewitness. aye yi yi...when it rains it pours for me.

that just means you "accidently" slip on some ice while standing next to that car holding your car keys firmly
