So I recently got into an accident where another driver merged lanes into me and got me good between both doors on the driver side and rear quarter panel.

Paint is okay, probably buffable for most part, but the rear quarter panel has a good chunk of paint missing so I'll have to definitely deal with that. Surprisingly, I have not heard much in the way of rust on body panels for the 2IS cars, and now that I think about it...I've only seen 1 rusty Lexus ever...which is great!

So anyone out there with a 2IS with rust problems? Specifically on body panels? Just curious.

 

on body panels... the part right behind the rear door in front of the rear wheel where the body curves into the well has gotten some rust that I recently just fixed. Living in ON, Canada my under chassis has definitely seen better days. Else any other rust on my body was just small specks of brake dust which came off with clay so I guess that doesn't count.

 

Ah, you described the EXACT area where my paint came off. Guess I will be fixing it sooner rather than later, thanks!
