I lived in Saudi for 11 years and remember the beheadings that would take place. Executioner would jab the kidney with their sword so the neck would straighten before the big swing....

I guess I've just been really lucky for the 6 years I've owned my 993 and 5 years I've owned my 88 911, never been keyed.

It could happen to anyone of us at anytime. Totally sucks, dude... Sorry to hear.

Man, that really sucks. I'm sorry someone did that to you What a f#ckin a$$hole.

I don't understand the mentality.

I've seen some good airbrush work on a dark blue car Lexus IS250 that was keyed on the door much like yours. Perfect job in this case. Airbrushed the scratched area and clearcoated the whole door.

Sounds like your doing your research. A good shop will make it look like new.

Good luck,
chuck

Default Finally....fixed!
Just wanted to update everyone. Finally got the door fixed! I think Emilio, the body shop owner (thanks for the referral Matt D.!) did a superb job blending the door and keeping the repaint to a minimum.

What do you guys think?

Yup, I'm going. I was a late addition (waiting list) so I don't think I'm on their list.
