Sucks dude. Not too much you can do about it though. I'm sure it will turn out in your favor in the end.

Does stuff like this happen often in LA?

When I lived in Chicago people would cut my Jeep window for fifty cents laying on the dash... I hated leaving my car on the street... People would bump into it just because the were too lazy to park better etc...
Now I'm in the Boonies 75 miles from there... so lifes great now.

At least it looks like they got all painted body panels, so you get a full new paint job.

You are correct JWilson, Took it in and they said that the entire body needs a repaint and they also noticed some egg on the top... they said if they cant clean it, they will replace it so i told them to let me buy a glass top with the money and they said ok if they cant clean it, they will let me go buy the top.

It sucks havin this stuff happen but having you guys to talk about it with me makes it alot less anoying, especially Back2DTM, THanks Buddy!

Garage
Bummer man! I hate it when people trash stuff for no reason. It's so :chicken: . Sure it can always be fixed and insurance will usually cover vandalism like this. It's just such a grind getting it all taken care of and like new again. Also prepare to get hosed on your insurance premium. With two vandalism claims in one year your insurance is probably going to be $5K every six months. Time to find a place with a garage.

On the bright side, at least they didn't damage your shiny new headlights.
