    So, I'm just gonna ramble a bit. About a week and a half ago, I got my car all fixed up (cosmetically) with bumper fixes and PDR work. I was completely happy that my car was looking great again until today.

    Today, I had a stroke of VERY bad luck. I was driving home from work and was pulling into my drive way when out of nowhere a kid on his bike slammed into the front right panel of my car. I flipped out, got out of the car, and made sure the kid was ok. I have no idea how the hell I didn't seem him, but I ran to him, leaving the car running. Luckily, nothing bad happened to him or his bike and he was able to walk fine. I walked with him home, explained to his parents about the accident which they were ok with because he was alright. Thankfully, everything was ok there (thought his parents were going to have a sh*t storm with me).

    Now I come to terms with all the new dents in my car and the bad luck that I've had. Seriously, it freaking sucks. I will probably take it back to Abra since they have done a good job with my previous experience. End rant.

    LMAO.... Ray you are sooooooo funny.

    Sorry to hear about your dents. I have kids so I am slowly coming to terms with always having scratches and dents.

    I don't think PDR can solve all of it since some of it is on a line and the paint has cracked in one area. Probably a whole repaint...

    I wonder if you could pop/roll it out? Since the paint is still in tact...I think it is time for a Wide Fender upgrade!

    Haha if I guess if no one ever saw it and I kept doing secret work, nothing would ever happen to it right? :p

    A new fender would be cheaper than fixing that mess. Subaru sheetmetal is inexpensive anyways.


    Jeremy can chime in...
