Default CAR GOT KEYED!!! Need stripe design ideas

Ok, here's the story. I was at a highschool football game the other day, and when i came out to leave i saw that my whole passenger side was keyed (it's at door handle level and it goes from back to front)!!! Now, we're going to get the car estimated on Monday, and I need to know if any of you have any ideas for like a stripe design that would go all around the car in that certain area.

You have to keep it semi-simple because i'm paying for all of it and i don't have a lot of money, but if you guys could come up with great ideas, that would be helpful!!!

P.S. I'll try to post pics really soon!!

I was suggesting for you to do a tribal design on your box, that would look good

Depnding on the area of the scratch I really like the "tear" graphics, I think that would look dope on a xB!

Since you're still in high school and paying out of your own pocket, I'd say to wait a couple years before you get it fixed. It'd suck to pay a lot of money, then get in an accident or keyed again at the next game.

I got a new truck when I was 16. After two years of driving during HS, I'd been in three accidents and my truck had several other unrelated dents, dings and scratches. To cover up the scratches, I'd use colored car wax. It would last a couple weeks and made them a lot less noticeable for only $5.

hey thanx, but i think i only have to pay the $100 deductible... so it's not like it's entirely expensive, and depending on what design (if any) that i do get, i'm not gonna go hella expensive

but thanx for letting me know

$100 deductable and huge increase in premium. I'd just touch it up and wait till school is over to get it fixed. It's just going to happen over and over. Maybe try getting a hoopty to drive where it will be parked unattended?
