dude, that sucks! HOpe your insurance covers vandalism! *******s should be put through the same acts as they did to the car. it's gonna be hard to get a convition though unless you got witnesses. Hope you get it fixed soon, that's some bad damage there... Maybe you can park in your girlfriend's garage next time!

thanks for all the comforting comments guys. It's not her who did it, it's actually her bf and I actually received a threat over the phone. Cops say the "terroist threat" is actually a lot more serious than the vandalism . Just waiting to see what happen.

The damage to your car and the phone threats are very serious offences
here in CA. That guy is looking at jailtime with restitution.
Stay on the LAPD or whoever your PD is. Would also suggest
a restraining order on the guy. He is going to be even more pissed off
when he goes to jail and then gets out. Get a police report and
an attorney and get to court quickly. Protect yourself.

update on my car,
brought in to a dealer's onsite bodyshop, they decide the door aint' worth fixing so they will order oem door from benz and just paint it. so all the damamnged part is replaced w/new parts. The shop even told me they can deal with teh insurance and told me not to worry. Hope this will not **** off my insurance company.

Not intended to make you feel worse but once the door is replaced you will have to disclose it when you sell the car, so the damage is really greater than the repair, as some people will not buy a car that has been repainted. Insurance companies unfortunately do not pay for the loss of value of a car due to body repairs. Save the photos so the future buyer of your car can see it was not whacked. Good luck.

Part of my reasons for doing that are ethical: a seller should reveal everything that s/he would want to know as a buyer.
And part of my reasons are legal. I am not a lawyer, but I do know that basic contract law precludes me from misrepresenting the goods that I'm selling. A buyer can sue for damages or even rescind the sale if the seller is guilty of misrepresentation.
