Thumbs down Well, that was fast!






Looks like someone backed into it a bit and it pushed out a crease a several inches lower.

People can be such ********. The good news is that as much as we love our gt3s, its still a car. And it can be fixed. I would still be furious and pissed off. Let us know how the repair goes. I still think its better to drive and use the car and risk this rather than keep the car in bubble wrap.

Resprays were one of the reasons I wanted a non metallic paint. At least it's just the bumper cover.

If I push on the bumper near the top of the curve (there is clear coat scuffing here) it flexes the cover which pushes out where the crease is.

Some people just don't care. This w/e someone dinged my car at the PCA corral in Daytona. While I am sure many folks pay close attention to what they are doing there is always that other one that ruins the thing for the rest of us. Yes, it can be fixed but damn.

Ouch!
Some people have no respect for others property.
If I could find whoever did it, I would tie knots in their dental floss for you....
