Whats up guys? well lemme start off, by saying ive been on these forums for a little now and they are great you guys are to helpful. This is my first car as i am in still in highschool, shes an 05 camry le v6 purchased about 8 months ago with 93300 miles on it, nows shes got about 101600 on here and i must say i really love this car. I think this thread is going to be my on going project about my car as i plan to update it. heres some pics of her, but the front is messed up. . my friend was in his tacoma in front of me on a gravel road and he dumped the clutch shooting pebbles all over the front of my car, peppering the my bumper and hood and cracking the windsheild im working on trying to get this fixed. and on the rear of the car, a failed debadge attempt...
Anyways check it out and lemme know what you think, im going to have lots of questions!
You should beat the hell outta your "friend" for doing that to your car.... accident or not.
For the debadging get fishing line and your hair dryer, heat up the glue and cut through it. Then use Goo Gone to get the left over tape off. Wash the area after and wax it.
^ thanks guys, but i mean first things first how should i go about getting the bumper hood and trunk painted to match my car. anyone know a ballpark on how much this would cost?
^ I would beat the literally the living shit out of him for doing that to my car. Sorry, but dumping his clutch in front of your car wasn't smart and he should shell out well over 1000 dollars to get replacement bumper + hood + FACTORY window.
I'd make his ass pay to get it new again. then i'd check to see if there was any rock damage in the radiator guard as well. oh man, if that was my car i'd be fuming mad.

don't let your friend off too easy. get him to pay for all or atleast half. make him learn a lesson. sometimes friends do it on purpose because of jelousy so don't let him off easily.
Parts + paint + labor is probably around $1-1.5k. But they will probably want to re-paint the front fenders so the entire front end is color matched so you might be looking as high as $2k.
Good luck man. Like everyone else said, you should have your friend pay for at least half of the thing, but probably the whole thing. Hell, have him claim it on his insurance as if you were in an accident (which is pretty much what it is).

Friends may be jealous at times, but if he did this on purpose, he's not a friend to begin with. you have "friends" like this?
Still a nice looking car with a lot of potential. Paints not cheap, so it might take a few paychecks to get it taken care of. I agree that if he really is a friend, he needs to go halves anyway.
