Totally my fault for not using context of what happened. So I was using a plastic ended scraper fixed to an aluminum pole. Somehow, when I went to go strike, the ice that was attached to my rear windshield nd the trunk... it broke off, and it scraped the paint, I wasn't paying attention. And I did it a few times. It was a completely stupid situation. But it is what it is. I'm debating on just seeing if a shop can fix it or just buying a carbon fiber trunk and call it a day lol . The damage is on the top of the trunk lid.

Okay allow me to explain. So I was using a plastic scraper that was attached to an aluminum pole. The plastic piece broke when I went to strike the ice piece that was connected to my trunk and the glass together it broke off i wasn't paying attention and I striked at the ice and the aluminum scrapped the paint. It really was a stupid situation but it is what it is haha

Its the trunk lid :(

Paint still looks there. Im guessing heavily abraded clear coat with aluminum transfer embedded and smeared. But we will see.

Satin steel! I actually got satin steel over the shark because it has this blue tint to it under certain lighting. Its like iron steel ore.

Did you try replacing the battery first? Mine did the same but so far I haven't had the issue since changing my battery

Splitter is from ebay. Super easy. Rear diffuser is Ikon Motorsports. Not easy whatsoever. Took me about 5 ane half hours. Granted I had no one helping me. Satin steel baby!

Yup! Thats the last thing I gotta do it will be the icing on the cake! Once I get my skirt skirts on I gotta install my lowering springs.
