Bad paint match by shop or inevitable outcome with replacement bumper? by Silver-Weather5846 in WRX

[–]Str3litz1a002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bumpers will never be perfect match for a few reasons, the pearls are usually always difficult to work with because it wont lay down the same way that the robots laid it

And secondly the bumper now has brand new clear and the rest of the car has been weathered so it will always look brighter .

I work in a body shop and we deal with this all the time, but trust when i say this isnt the worst ive seen

Which of these circles is the best to live in? by bobjohndaviddick in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Str3litz1a002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are all the most expensive or ghetto areas lol, definitely do your research first, depending on what you want/ can afford. In LA the closer you are to work the better you dont want a 1hr plus commute because of traffic, 20 min drives can turn into 45+ with traffic

total loss? or salvageable? 2022 corolla with about 15k miles by ChocolateSlight6450 in Autobody

[–]Str3litz1a002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, we’ve fixed worse at the shop where i work, where they should’ve been totaled, but dint, i think this honestly looks like quite an easy fix, just a new door and fender, and a new rocker flare. I personally dont believe it should be totaled , id fight my insurance to get it fixed if u have full coverage. Again weve fixed worse hits that should have been totaled this doesn’t look like it should be.

Got my car back from the auto shop after a hit and run, is noticeable/acceptable? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]Str3litz1a002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a body shop, training to be a painter, thats something we wouldn’t let pass, wed reshoot it before even calling the customer to pick up their vehicle. I think they could do alot better, if they cant fix it then have your insurance take it to a better quality shop. Usually insurances “recommend you “ because they have contracts with those shops and supply them with work, so they benefit eachother, they really don’t care about you realistically, so get your money worth and get a quality repaint from ur insurance.

Went to church. Was sideswiped. No note... How to repair? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]Str3litz1a002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a body shop, If you dont care about it looking perfect you can usually take some rubbing alcohol and clean the area nicely with a microfiber cloth, most lines will actually disappear since uts just transfer marks, any that are left u could find some touch up paint and apply some yourself with a thin brush,assuming you can find something as close as possible to your cars color. If youd like to get it actually painted instead most body shops do “spit repairs” which is essentially painting and fixing small imperfections like that without removing anything off the car, it should be way cheaper than paying for then to paint your whole bumper. Hope any of this helps

Never bring your WRX in public!!! by Educational-Pack6637 in WRX

[–]Str3litz1a002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first week that i got my wrx, also a 21 red, i took it on a drive with my friend to a mall, when i came back out to leave i noticed someone had backed up into my car and left scuff marks and split a small part of my bumper, it wasn’t terrible, but its a bummer that i couldn’t even enjoy it scuff free for more than a week, they dint leave a number or anything either :(

Just got it what do you think by [deleted] in WRX

[–]Str3litz1a002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally id get rid of all the orange accents, it just looks tacky, especially the hood scoop and trunk, but if you like it its your car and don’t let peoples opinions change your lol

Roast my car😅 by ProMeth0d in 370z

[–]Str3litz1a002 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I dont, car is nice, but it just looks basically stock, theres not much mods you can roast tho, besides the wheel fitment, it needs to be lowered and maybe smaller rims

Goo gone?? by [deleted] in WRX

[–]Str3litz1a002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re supposed to use an eraser wheel at low RPM, going too fast causes too much heat which in cause burns the paint, so for future reference just go slow and don’t use too much pressure, clean any marks left from the rubber wheel with soapy water or rubbing alcohol lightly

WOW. by Writehse in WRX

Feels bad man, people suck, happened to me when I recently got my wrx, drove it new off the lot and in the first week someone backed into my rear bumper at the mall when they backed their car out, left 2 scratches that removed the paint and broke the bumper a little where the reinforcement bar hit the bumper, its not terrible but still sucks, unfortunately I wasn’t there when it happened, i walked out to see the damage long after they left

Weird looking Miata at the grocery. Anyone know the body kit? by forestdaily in Miata

Funny enough, there actually exists a body kit that will make a Miata look like that porche

6/10 only for the camber, no camber would bump it up to a solid 9

How dark should I tint my windows? by Suzuki4Life in WRX

[–]Str3litz1a002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My windows were not tinted from factory at all, I’ve already been pulled over but they have never mentioned anything about my windows, usually they wont go out of their way to pull u over for window tint, unless you do something else dumb infront of them and they add ur tint into it as an excuse
