It looks like you could almost get in there some how and pop it back out with a few scratches still in it. if that doesnt bother you, and its free

But that sucks man, I hate Fuxking people who cant drive worth a Sh*t

[SKproductionZ]

ya thas probably the best bet

these things do happen, and people cant drive for sh*t in the winter

i learned my lesson, always park in the far back even if its -10*F lol



haha but the cop did like my car, he told me he never seen one like it

[placham]

Dont look too bad, you could probably push it out from inside. But looks too deep under antenna, dont know if there is enough room down there from inside. It will probably be visible where bumper meets the body, dont think that area will be easy to return to before shape.

Noticed your from the north burbs, is there a lot of S chassis up there?Nice looking 240sx around Chi' are a rare breed, especially S14 Kouki's.

[MySXisSlowerThanUrs]

haha were all from Chi-town

[Ghast]

On the next day you have school. Look around the parking lot for people with a tad bit of your paint on their car. Don't be afraid to get nice and close to really make sure. Get their info and hold on to it. Apparently they either GO to your school or have business there.

Go private eye mode man! Sometimes the cops put priorities first. I know how much your car means to you, believe me. It is not stolen though so they are not going to put that much effort into anything. So you can do it!

Go to that same place you were parking, and maybe observe the people that drive right there... I am really tired, i tend to throw out crazy ideas when i am tired.

One Love,

thanks for the adviceI will try that

-

It does seem like I can get into there and try something,there isnt a crease either so its a matter of how well it will come out.I can try and see what a local shop can do for me,

if anything I can always slap a sticker on it of a bandage lol maybe it will get better by itself over time ha

and yes

i <3 my 240

[spooled240]

sux bigtime, I could never hit a car and just leave..not cool.

I would just get it fixed, it honestly doesn't look too bad. Overfenders? hell no, that would require you to cut the wheel wells out and virtually hack up your qp's. I would do overfenders if the qp was totally wrecked from a T-bone accident but, what you have looks like nothing at all.

[SKproductionZ]

thanks spooled, thas exactly what i needed to hear bro

[amolao]

Easy to repair. Not sure of how much room you have in the back of that panel, you can use a special air bladder or old deflated basketball with an air compressor to push most of the damage out with minimal stress to the metal.

[hbpignosePA]

some clay bar and you'll be good as new

nah it doesnt look bad

but people suck

probably y i dont take the 240 out in the snow... i got enough dings

[hazer396]

**** manyeah my sister told me it happened at collegei felt like ****..hope everythings ok

[Amtk240]

I'm guessing you were not parked where any security cameras might have picked up the scene? When available, I always try to scope out security cameras and park in the line of view. I also try to NEVER park along the side of a street. Like someone else said, I'd rather walk in a monsoon or the bitter cold than come back to my car and see that kind of **** because of some dumb*** who can't drive! It was probably someone trying to talk on the cell phone and drive at the same time. Typical nowadays....

Cell Phone + Driving = FAIL

[SKproductionZ]

yeah they do have cameras, the cop told me theyd check them but no promise if they will find anything *lame* but its true, so ima just nose around a bit tuesday morning lol.

I never had a problem for 2 years till yesterday so its pretty lame that this **** happens...

curiousif i wait to get it pulled out, is there any effect from waiting since its so daym cold outside?

[tEknoS13]

That damage is not bad could have been worse.Wow tread full of people from around Chi, nice

[amolao]

If you leave alone should be alone, I dont see bare metal so there should be no rust issues. If you can see bare metal, clean and paint. Any color will do just for temporary rust prevention.

Now I know how this is going to sound, but hear me out.here's how you fix it since it's such a tiny area to work in.Supplies:1) Hammer2) Little kid

Now you'll have to convince the little kid to climb into your trunk (promises of candy/ponies/whatever works.give them the hammer and tell them to reach down into the quarter panel and bang it out.

get the hammer back from them and leave them in the dust unless you do have the candy or pony on hand for them since they helped you out.Your QP is good as new

[krayzie94]

Little kid for small hands, I assume.... =P

[SirSilvia]

hahaha yes, i got my little cousin to fish out my keys from the driver side QP

[keith0486]

that sucks man looks like its time to do some cis work wipe it down and see what color paint the car that did it was and keep and eye out when to go to school for cars that color and just give them a quick look at to see if there is any blue paint on there car.

[Clawhammer]

Just suck it up. Life sucks and people suck even more. Someone hit my car on New Years on the rear quarter. I'll just suck it up and fix it, no use getting my insurance involved. My insurance will go up and it'll cost more in the long run.

[Dittoz7]

Time To Go Hunting...

[SKproductionZ]

not until monday

*good note*i washed it down to see how bad the paint wasand it was just a few marks!!

gonna get a estimate on the dent sunday

[sloweighty]

if that happen to me..........man..............i would get a really really shape key and start keying other peoples car until someone starts talking or i would just spraying peoples cars with airplane paint striper, because if you were at school then someone must of saw something

[driven_]

if youre a small/medium sized guy,sit in your trunkbarefooted and kick it out (dont send blows to it. lol)just push on it.

[ChampaignSilviaS14]

Im sure....... that would be really helpful.

[blalex01]

[AutoShadow]
