woa Im real sorry to hear that man...I'll never understand why people do that shit...its the lowest or the low.
Well the paint cost varies from location to location, and how much paint they actually use. If you just want to fix scratches and use the same paint it shouldnt cost more than a couple hundred...but if you go body kit (bad idea imho) it will cost a lot more

yea, don't get a body kit... i've always thought that body kits and hondas don't mix... it looks cleaner if you just lower it... that's the least of your worries right now, tho... sorry dude.

You dont have insurance???
Theyre going to have to repaint the whole section that was keyed(like the hood or roof, etc), and if the car was keyed all over the place then the whole car is going to need repainting in which case its going to be at least 2-3k$

man, that's a lot of money... more than I have... yah, i am still debating about the body kit... I doubt I'll get it... but if I do, then Wings West will definitely be the one... but the Buddy Club kit looks pretty sweet too... I plan on lowering it some day... I'm pretty broke right now... ;( I did see that movie Bulletproof Munk last night though and it was tight :yes: ... I'm gonna pull some Chow Yun Fat moves on the next person who tried to key my car. :cool:

Why would someone key a car? I keyed a car once, and no I don't regret it. I bought a car with someone and we were supposed to share to go to back & forth to school with. Yeah, I know what you are thinking - why the hell did I do that. Well, I had lots of reasons but anyways they just took the car pretty much for themselves. So I keyed up half of it and busted out half of the windows. I told them it was my half, so why does he care? :|
Ummm 3,000 for my half of the car 1,000 tution already paid for no reason since I couldn't get to school. That's a reason to key a car. I could probably list a few others. :mad: But to do it just to do it, yeah thats kinda ****ed up.
Don't go to Macco...ew.

Man, i keyed a car once... but I think I was like 16 years old... I feel bad now because I know how painful it is... but the dumb guy parked so close to my car that I couldn't even get it in.. i had to crawl thru the passenger side door to get to my driver seat... so that was very annoying. But I guess what goes around comes around so I guess I deserved to be keyed.. but my debt is paid so the next time I will have vengeance :doh:

I park really shitty sometimes. Once someone put a note on my car that said *i hope your car rolled otherwise you are a jackass that cant park*
hahahahahaaaa
Every Macco job I have ever seen was really shitty. I got some touch up stuff done by them not long ago n I totally regret it. But hey, who the hell am I?

Um, hey genius... I took it back. They did a bad job the first time, guess what they did the 2nd and soon to be 3rd? Yes, that's right - A BAD JOB!
Just shell out and get it done right.
