2 weeks ago I let a friend of mine borrow my car while I was at work. After I got off work I notcied that there was a lot of paint missing from my FB I was pissed. I knew it wasn't me that hit something because every day before I drive my car I look at it to make sure no damage has been done to it because there's a lot of kids that play on the streets and I'm always afraid that they're gonna hit my car. My friend denied hitting anything but offered to pay half of the costs to get my F/B repainted so in other words to me he hit something. Here's a pic of the bumper and a couple of pics of my new springs that finally came in:
ouch! damn bro.. that must've hurt! Sorry to hear about that.. its obvious that your friend probably hit the car somewhere. Personally, I think shouldn't let him or anyone borrow ur ride next time.. lookin' forward to seeing thoze springz installed on ur car!
Thanks for the kind words Yeah I learned my lesson not to let anyone drive my car other then me. And about the paint job, yeah my friend didn't do a very good job. He didn't use the right type of primer on the F/B and that's why after my friend did whatever he did to my car it started to flake off. I'm gonna get the whole car repainted I'm debating whether to change the color of the car again or keep it that color. If I get the color changed again I'll probably go with Electric Blue or Gloss Black but I do like the color that's on there right now so I haven't decided what I'm gonna do yet. I will be installing the lowering springs some time this week before I go to the Tuner Bash in Panama City Beach next weekend.

But I've got a question...is paint supposed to flake off like that? Looks like a bad paint job, despite the accident.
