    Hey guys, here we go again... After getting my bumper cap swiped a few months back, another one comes my way. Another asshole/idiot doesn't know how to drive... Can someone direct me to where I can replace the driver passenger side fender flare and already painted in cement color? This just sucks, another unexpected expense and it's not even my fault smh.

    Did you try buffing it out super hard with like a microfiber cloth? It might just come out.

    edit: i just looked closely at the pics and saw that it literally ate through the paint, my bad!

    Just use touch up paint, it’ll happen again. It’s a truck.

    Shit happens.

    Way of this world. You can try all day long to keep your stuff pristine but it’ll happen.

    I gave up a long time ago.

    And you don’t have the worst luck. Try being rear ended by an uninsured motorist after your 3rd payment on the truck with frame damage and it not being totaled out.

    $38k SUV that’s now worth $10k less after an accident with frame damage and can’t seek diminished value.

    Wifes Rav4 took a 14K hit to the ass. Only consolation is no real structural damage, and it's a Rav4.

    If you’re feeling adventurous you can try all kinds of Dicks at once.

    I went Line-X on all four fender flares after the wife damaged my RF flare on the garage for $250. I had intended to replace & paint before I got the quote from Line-X. I have the replacement RF flare in the box in a storage locker. PM if you’re interested, unpainted or prepped. F7CC9F65-7059-473A-A430-92FC81CAE3A1.jpg

    Yeah it sucks! The bumper cap and now the fender flare. Both of them have nasty scars all the way down to the primer
