Rep Power: 304 i have had my car for 6 months now and i only got 2 scratches on mine on the back when i backed into my other car in the morning. all that dam condensation on the back window but ill have that fixed when i get my kit on in a few weeks. other than that i have no dings or dents cuz i park far far far far away from everybody or i litteraly take up 3-4 parking spaced everytime so no one can open their doors and hit mine. my car still looks like i just bought it yesterday it so clean and free of everydaty wear. i wash my car everyweek and detail it to the fullest. follow my procedure and oyur car look like you just bought it yesterday to.

Rep Power: 0 Someone keyed my car with a flat head screwdirver. It's starting to rust actually. Paint chipped off my front bumper from spraying at a car wash. It's about 2inches long. There are a few other key marks all over the car. I have a crack in the bottom of my back bumper from backing into a snowbank. And I have a little dent with some paint on the driver side door from a mini van in boston. The biatch hit my door with her door and didn't leave a note. I could see my paint on her door too. So I got even and punched a huge dent in the side of her passenger door.

Rep Power: 0 I got a pretty good scratch on the drivers side of my car the first week I owned it. It was from a rock my car kicked up while I was going down my friends gravel road. I need to get some touch up paint for it.

Rep Power: 0 My Si Coupe is 15 months old, and has 50,000kms on her. Because she's Eternal Blue, every single scratch, chip, mark shows up like a glaring wound to me.
Because we use rocks instead of sand up here in BC on our winter roads, the entire hood and front bumper are chipped all to hell. I call it the "salt-and-pepper" look. It looks pretty ghey. And my windshield is cracked in three places.
Someone keyed my drivers' side from the taillight to the door handle, but most of it buffed out.
I've got lots of little nicks from *******s hitting the car with their doors. I caught one soccer mom in a Windstar doing it, pointed it out to her, and she just shrugged and took off. I called the cops and nailed her with a hit and run
I love having out of province plates. Every little thing people do to me here is a felony because of it.
I think someone in the neighborhood is purposely nicking my car - I rinse it off at least every two days and find scratches in the weirdest places - like on the rear C pillar. WTF?!
I was rear-ended by a stolen vehicle on Christmas Eve, and I got a new bumper, absorber and bumper bar. The body shop did an awesome job of matching the color BTW. Third day I had the new bumper - it was scratched from some chick with a beat up Golf Cabrio who parked too close to be and scraped me on the way out - and I saw her do it too The RCMP here are getting to know me on a first name basis.
What color cars do you p33ps have? Anyone with a silver or white Civic as paranoid about their scratches as us with darker colors? I got the blue because I love the color, and I wanted the beige interior.

Rep Power: 342 I have one little knick on my rear bumper, someone backed into me. Its okay, I broke their bumper off (old pos, it was just hanging there anyway) and felt alright. No door dings, paint chips, scratches, or anything. Except for that little mark on my bumper, my car is in better condition than the day I took it from the dealer.

I got a ding in my passanger door, and a nice dinger in my rear bumper from when i was backing into my friends garage and misjudged the distance to the wall other than that she looks brand new, except for all the salt from the snow here [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Have a little ding on my driver door, and about 5 spots where little rocks from a truck spinning out on the other side of the freeway while it was raining hit me (although I used touch up paint so unless you right next to it you cant see them). My hood has a few hairline scratches and a couple of little flecks that it has out of it. Hoping to get a Carbon Fiber hood in the not too distant future.

Rep Power: 0 I had my car a whole 4 days before some ****wad opened their door and put a ding in my pass. side rear quarter panel. I'm pretty good about parking far out in the parking lot. Now if I could just get the snow and salt to go away...I would have a nice shiny car.

Rep Power: 294 I've had my car since June 01 and its got minor sratches, a few paint chips from rocks, and a small dent on the rear next to my trunk lid. Does a slighty bent scratched to hell rim count? Nothing too bad really. now that i've said that..watch something happen to it

Rep Power: 0 I have had my car for roughly 5.5 months now, there are no dents, dings or scratches, actually, it looks to be in better condition than a new one of the lot. Plus everytime something is done to my car, be it damage or a car wash or an oil change, it is documented on the honda owner link website [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I'll have had my car for a year next month. I've been in one noteable accident when I got a dent about the size of a dinner plate in my driver's door (my fault[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG] failure to year yeild) And one little bitty scratch that was made by a door like the first month I got my car. The scratch was fixed when the door was fixed also when I got my kit on. But other than that and a few scratches on my bumper I'm all clean now. Just like new
