So last night i came out of a restaurant to see a chunk of paint missing from my bumper. Somebody nailed my car and drove off. Am I pissed? Hell yea.
Anyways, nothing i can do about it.
Now my question. I remember hearing that replacement scion bumpers come color coded from the factory. I dont remeber where i heard it, but is it true? I mean the dealer wants $240 for it but they just said no they dont come painted. But in my experience i have noticed that the people working at dealers dont know anything. If it doesnt come painted then i'm pretty much boned. I can get the bumper for under $100 if an aftermarket replacement is made but the paint is killer.

I had some marks and stuff on the side, and the dealer wanted $1500 to paint it, but I had another shop do it (and some bondo repair stuff) for $350. not bad. I believe the lip kits and spoilers come prepainted, but I don't think other body parts do.

u should do like i do, park way the hell out in east gish, little farther walk but in the long run its well worth it, sorry man, that sux.
if someone parks next to me and dings my shit even though im the farthest spot away, they lose both their side mirrors, then i piss all over the car and handles, dis-respectful ass clowns gonna get theirs.
i have a lil prob. with roadrage, but its not un-prevoked.

Yea i wasn't expecting to be in there long since i didnt like the girl who invited me. Ended up playing 3 games of pool and came out to it. My alarm went off and everything (i could tell cuz when i unlocked it it beeped like 123453453 times). I'm thinking about getting rid of the scion security and investing in a remote start/pager system.

Oh darn that's even cheaper. Still - it might be worth it to drive up there. They're only in NC i think.... heh.

Ooooo, what all can you get? I think I'll need a stock front and rear bumper to begin my custom bodykit (one of these days).
