Angry Haters caused me. 6000 dollars worth of damage.

So yeah, afterschool, come back to my car and its been keyed everywhere. Hood, doors, quarter panels, etc etc. Took it to a reputable body shop for an estimate, said around 6000 dollars. They say the whole car needs to be repainted. Sigh, what a bad week, tint ticket, and now this. A honda element next to me also got keyed up, and a G37S on the other side got the "S" badge stolen. Car was keyed in the student parking lot.

Here are some pics:
Hood

Left Front

Drivers Side Door

Drivers Side Passenger Door

Left Rear Quarter Panel

Hood From Afar

So yeah, probably gonna fix this after graduation in June. Wouldn't want to repaint it and get the car keyed again. Any suggestions on what color I should have the car painted? Or should I stay with Obsidian? Sigh...What a crappy day.

Don't repaint it the same color. I kinda wanna get keyed now so I can get new paint! 6K, you might be able to find quality paint for cheaper and pocket the rest of the money. Think about the future

Happened at Arcadia High School. I think I might go with black again, wouldn't want to ruin the resale value. Not sure yet.

They should have cameras, become friends with everyone at school and find out who did it.

My school has cameras...... I think......
