I just bought my 8 last month, an 06 Shinka, I basically only drive it to go to college classes 4 days a week and around town, I go to work on my bike because it's close to where I live. Yesterday I got back home and like I do, stared at my RX8 in all its beauty, yet something was off. I looked closer and I saw a dent and a scrape under my door! WTF, it was just parked outside of my house! it definitely wasn't a car, because it was on the side of the car facing the sidewalk and because of how low it is, my guess is that it was one of the kids going to the high school by my house, with a skateboard or something. Anyway, not much I can do about it, just felt like venting. Don't know if I should go get it fixed or just live with it for now. Anyone have any similar experiences?

 

Not as bad as mine when some thief stoley roof rack. He/she used a flat head screwdriver or something to pry out the clamps.

 

Get a one of those "paintless dent removal" places to remove the dent, then fix the scratch with touch-up paint. If you can't keep it in a garage, invest in a quality car cover. Don't go cheap. A bad one will destroy your finish.

 

This is what I came home to.
Sorry the picture came out upside down for whatever reason.

 

OUch did that happen when they flipped your car over...hope your roof is OK.

 

I dunno man, that don't look like no skate board did that.

Are you sure you didn't cut a corner a bit tight and bump a curb?

That sure looks more like a driving dent IMO then a skate board or bicycle.

 

I'm almost completely sure I didn't do it, especially since I didn't notice it the day before when I was looking at my car, and I haven't driven it since.

I don't think I can get a PDR for that

also my driving habits stick closer towards the lanes than to the curb

Sorry on what happened. Some people are just jealous because you have a nice looking ride and they don't...

 

You guys think this might be an expensive fix?

 

whatever the case, it's going to cost a few dollars to fix.

I'm going to guess at the least a 1000 usd

 

You think so? Damn, I'd rather just put it on my insurance, but I will go get it checjed out and get an estimate sometime down the line, thanks for the answers guys

I think you should go get it fixed. Every time you will see it..you will get a pinch inside, its better to get rid of it.

 

it shouldnt cost more than $500 Based on my previous experiences with auto body shop..try preppin it urself that may also reduce the cost. Some one keeps keeying my 8 pisses the crap out of me. Thinking to install an alarm system.
