Car keyed and then repainted and made over
A few months ago I woke up to see my car keyed completely to **** outside my condo. I usually park it underground but that night I had it outside for some stupid reason. The keying was complete overkill, scratched the entire car up and smashed my taillights and head lights.
After a ton of headache I'm finally happy again as I got the car back out of the shop with a fresh new clean paint job. I upgraded to the Autocolor ICI Clear Coat, its the same stuff thats a mercedes option on new Benzos as well. Put in the eurospec bixenons from Steve as well as the clear blinkers and fogs. In the back I went with the S Class taillights and then threw my Dubs back on.
I haven't posted too often cuz I never really had much to show but I'm pretty happy with how the car is looking now. Next up is the exhaust
More pics to come!

Sorry to hear that you went through that ish. That's gotta be the worst feeling ever. My cousin's EVO got thrashed in a parking lot before, but couldn't figure out who would isolate it to his car (and worse than just being keyed).
Anyways, what size tires are you rollin on with dubs? Obviously, there aren't any fitment issues because you're not dropped, but very curious about that.

The insurance company chipped in $6500, it ended up costing close to $10,000 though. I payed to get the headlights, fogs and blinkers from Steve, and got the S-class tails from ebay. I was given money for the lights but only enough to cover like half the cost. Put the grille on and payed $1200 for the clear coat upgrade. Then there was $600 for the 3M rock chip gaurd on the front and blinkers. Finally it was another $600 to paint the roof because it wasn't keyed and the insurance *******s wouldn't cover it.
The tires are Toyo T1R Proxes size 265 at the back, the Dubs are 19X8.5 in the front and 19X10 in the back. And up in Canada there is no chance of me ever being able to drop the car, especially not with the **** roads we have in Saskatoon.
