Well back luck bit me in the a**. I was taking out the seat of another car and the rail scratched the door. (I was not carrying it FTR) It's nasty deep man. I'm going to call Lexus and see the cost of repair.

That does sucks. It really doesn't look that bad though. Good luck!

Wow, good luck with the repair. Silver is a pain in the *** color to match.

I was just quoted $400 by my dealership. They said their guy would have to paint the whole door. I guess I'll place something over it until I can take it in next week.

Oh no! That's more than i anticipated

But, look at the bright side, after the fixing, your door will return to awesomness again....

Damn that sucks man. Maybe some PDR and touch up paint. Better than painting a whole door and dealing with mismatch issues.

ouch, WOW, I know you are hating yourself right now. Wishing you can go back in time and re do that. Problem is now that the door and quarter has to be painted. Where you bringing it?

I am contemplating trading in my car, don't think anyone can ever get the paint to match.

OW... that looks painful. please don't let them tell you that they'll have to blend the whole car. that is a nasty scratch, why does it look as though someone tried to touch it up and didn't do a very good job...

You have NO idea.... I don't even know where to go. I'm thinking Lex of PP but I'm not too sure if I have enough faith in them. Seeing how JM treated you I don't think that's an option either.

No one has done anything to it yet. Thank god it is not dented, it's down to the metal though. Blending is not going to be fun man.
