Angry Die all FJ haters!!!

Someone keyed my 3 month-old Black FJ from front to back on the entire right side. Has any of you guys had this unfortunate experience before, if so did you just leave it as is or had it repaired? I don't think it can be buffed out since it's down to the metal. I have a feeling that the body shop will have to repaint that side to fix it. I'm debating if I should get this done because I think the metallic black paint might be difficult to match and the repair might be too obvious.

Re: Die all FJ haters!!!

Absolutely no reason why a good shop couldn't paint match. Instead, why not just take it offroad a lot and get some pinstriping to match?

Re: Die all FJ haters!!!

Prob. an H3 owner. That totally sucks. A really good paint shop would be able to do a good job fixing it. Prob. going to want to use your insurace though because they would probably charge thousands to do it right. It can be done though. Just sucks things like happen.

LOL... The FJ looks so good that I forgot it's meant to have battle scars. I should've added this icon to my original post
