Well at least it wasn't at your house when it got keyed so more than likely it would just some random jerk that needs to be kicked in the nuts. My car got egged about 1.5 year ago (I think it was my ex) so since then I installed 2 cameras monitoring my car and havn't had problems since (unfortunatly I told her about the system, I shouldn't have and could have got her on tape next time she tried to egg my 8).

I'll take pictures in a bit.

It happened at the Ralph's parking lot on Thursday night about midnight.

Everyone's cars are in the shop so I guess that's why this thread is so dead.

Bryan: what did they charge you to paint hubs and calipers? Pics?

dang, sorry to hear about the damage rasp... there are a lotta punk kids that just have no respect for anything that do this kinda crap... but, $800 sounds really cheap for an entire repaint (hood, fender, doors). are they just blending? either way hope it goes well...

Everyone go post in the Bored at Work thread that ur 8 is in the shop! dmc27 is going to drink a beer per 8 thats in the shop right now and he's up to 6.

Sounds like everyone will be done with their work by the time Dec rolls around tho. So all this work done and if we all go to the meet no one would know the difference

Hey Rasp my nephew can paint that no problem.

It will be much cheaper than his body shop.

He's ordering Red now to paint my kit.

Thanks for the offer razz; however, the car is already in the body shop. Total estimate is $1031. I only have to pay $100 comprehensive deductible.

Not bad at all. Mazda quoted me $800 to just repaint one panel when my 8 got egged. Fortunatly since my car is silver and the egg shell impact marks are in small spiral patterns it is difficult to notice so I didn't bother getting it repainted.
