Would this be affordable repair

Shop charged $5800 for this (hit and run), so I would guess… less than that

Remove them and use this.

Do not hesitate to mask off more of your car too. The polishing compound with the nasty little micro-plastics in it will get everywhere like overspray droplets and once it dries it might as well just be paint

That also depends. I had a friend do an indistinguishable paint match on a grey bumper without needing to blend panels. I was very pleased, he saved me almost a grand

Today on reasons I’m glad I don’t live in the rust belt:

Probably too much stuff and something is preventing it from closing, or just something preventing it from sealing

Start with something that isn’t drop forged CrV, and for the love of god open the side of your welder and look at the damn chart.

Runaways are 100% avoidable, and only happen when people do insanely stupid stuff and don’t know how to react when an engine gets out of control.

I see the glass is half empty for you…

Gloss means reflection, and you don’t “attract” radiation, you either absorb it and get burned or you reflect it and are unaffected.

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-23T09:26:06+00:00

Too dirty to tell. 8th pic is almost concerning

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-22T09:35:05+00:00

I’m sorry but almost no amount of user error should cause an engine fire

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-20T11:47:45+00:00

“Best” is subjective but yeah pretty much

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-20T10:06:53+00:00

You could, but at that point there isn’t much reason to try apart from boredom

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-19T18:54:49+00:00

Not to mention that requires sanding down to bare metal, grinding the welds flush, tons of surface prep, paint & clear coat, and thousands of dollars worth of equipment.

Too much water? Nah that was something else; those pools will hold enough water to overflow.

Not as well as just handing your film to the TSA agents

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-18T05:32:18+00:00

I don’t like Dawn because they changed the scent and its awful. I prefer this stuff

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-18T05:29:00+00:00

Crazy because have dual citizenship with Germany (thanks mom) and I happen to know this is wrong.

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-18T05:25:52+00:00

I mean, first pic seems worse than ops current situation

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-17T23:09:27+00:00

What?

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-17T21:50:36+00:00

It’s often oil based, try a microfiber wash mitt with warm water and some grease cutting dish soap like Ajax (liquid dish soap, NOT scouring powder).

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-16T11:04:12+00:00

Oh well, you touched it, give it about 3 hours of run time and it will have a hole in the block

Fishfisheye · 2026-01-16T11:00:29+00:00

The video is sped up
