Black Friday Did my 5.5 gen dirty

Hey guys came out from Circuit City with my friends and brother to find out that some b**** hit my car. Now, i treasure this car since its my first one that i actually own and work on. Anyway we came out of the black friday crowd and walked to the car and found my mirror in the close position thankfully the mirror itself is fine but my door is banged up and the paint started to chip.










got most of the color off from the other car after clay baring and using turtle scratch removal and excuse the dirtyness There was no note or anything and i parked at a pretty safe place too. There was no cameras to find the culprit too. and the cops were no help except to file a report. Now the question is how much is it to fix this. And i also have the pearl paint too which is a b**** anyone know a good place in Jersey?

Damn man that sucks. People have no respect for other peoples property or basically cannot drive. I hope at least you picked up a good deal at CC.

Heh, my rear bumper has 2 new scratches in it too, from black friday shopping at Staples. Not as bad as yours though.

How much is your insurance deductible? Might be worth it...

Probably going to cost $500-1000 depending on how far they want to blend the paint to match it. Don't price shop this either or you will probably end up with a door that looks even worse. Find a good, independent body shop that specializes in high end cars. Do not take it to the dealer, they only do one thing well and that is sell cars.

Exactly the reason I still have the rusted out HB. Whoever hits it will do more damage to their own vehicle than they can do to "The Turd".

One reason I loathe shopping on crowded days...just not worth it to save a few bucks. I shop on the internet for the most part.

I have a very similar story, algthough not on black friday.....some idiot hit me in a parking lot

**Mite be cheaper to find a junk yard or similar place that carries nissans and find a complete door...although rare to come by***

My wifes Mazda 6 lease got dinged on black friday here in MD as well. I had the Max out for work that Wednesday and for Thanksgiving day but I told her there is no way I'm taking her out on Black Friday and sure enough, the other car took the abuse. I took the Honda out black friday, you can hit it all you want
