i had a scratch on the left fender. don't know how, don't care. but it's been bothering me so much i tried fixing it myself. well, long story short, i screwed up and now its even worse.

i then took it to the dealer for an estimate.

$259 is what its going to cost me to take care of the nuisance.

ill post pics later.

damn that sucks, but you should probably go get some quotes at other stores. That seems a little pricey, but that also depends on just how much damage you did to it.

hey i went to a local bodyshop to get a quote on a ~4 inch scratch and they told me 800$ lol. I walked away without saying anything... definitely shop around.

259 isn't too bad.

since its a black car its kinda hard to make out but here is the best picture i took.



looks more of a scar than a scratch. i owe so much money right now i can't afford to take of it right now.
