Default Hit n Run @ South Coast Plaza

It happened this past saturday afternoon. I went to the mall before the rush so I could get a good parking spot in the structure near rain forest cafe. I got to park at the end and decided to park ass first. I pull to the driver side curb within 1" and bring my rear tires up agaist the parking block. This gives whatever idiot that parks next to me more than enough room to do their thing... or so I thought.

4 hours later I notice (when I'm at home) I'm missing a chunk of paint (1sq inch) on my pasenger side bumper near the fender line. I also have scraches down to the steel on the front half arch of the fender well.

I know this happened at the mall because I gave the S a good wash and detail before I went. This really pisses me off and threw me into a depression the rest of the weekend.

Whoever did this didn't even leave a note. I curse this person with a plauge of door dings and keys marks... I only had my car for 2 months and can't belive this just happened

ANyone know of a good paint shop that could re-paint it and bring it back to the way it was?

If you aren't too worried about price, I'd go to Quigley's in Lake Forest. They won't cost you an arm and a leg, but they definitely are not cheap.

If you park in that structure, go all the way to the bottom, and park on that secluded side all the way to the left. Sometimes they have cones blocking, but I go right around that no one ever parks over there, you can even find a spot during Christmas

(if your facing the entrance "that area that smells like ass" go to the very left of the parking)

They do a pretty good job there at Quigley's.

I just had my bumper done over at MOB works in Orange. It came out
almost flawlessly.

You'll probably get lots of: FooBar > *
comments for places in LA. Take 'em with a grain of salt..

It is depressing when this happens... People are STUPID
drivers, and then they can't even man (woman) up to what they've
done. JERKS! The icky feeling fades quickly though.

Good luck!

That pisses me off just looking at it.
The same happened to me on my 2001 Prelude the first week I got it.
