I just got keyed!!! Brand new 07 Coupe!! :(

Saturday night I took my 2 week-old black 07 G35 Coupe to a friend's Christmas party in North Hollywood and stayed the night, parked in the street. In the morning me and a few friends went outside to find their cars egged, but mine KEYED. The passenger side has 3 long wavey scrapes, that cross over all 3 panels (rear fender, side/door/, front fender). They are deep enough that they are white at their deepest. I'll post pics but I'm trying to figure out what to do! It looks like I'm going to need the whole right side re-painted! My poor 2 week old baby!!

I know that re-painting is never the same as OEM. I'm just trying to figure out what options I have before I go through the claim process. I'll try to post some pics later today.

Sorry to hear. I just bought mine too and I'd be pissed if that happened to me. Good luck fixing it.

Sorry to hear about your car bro. I know how you feel. I had my G35x for two months when some low-life scumbag smashed the window on one of my doors. Didn't steal a thing. A**shole(s) did it right on my own driveway too. It's really a shame there is a small segment of the population that is so jealous. There can't be any other way to explain it.

Damn dude i just got my 2007 Coupe Fully loaded Black on Black one week old. People look weird at me as i am so ****ing scared some low life will key my precious baby. I come outside every 5 minutes to make sure nothing is happening to it, but then again 5 mins is enought 2 key it. I also park it far from everyone when i go to a store , because i had my 2002 A6 and some idiot pulling out scratched driver side from front doors to the rear bumper.

Now it's in front of my house better go repark it in the back what im about to do now.

Good luck on repair dude i think if that happen to me i would have a heart attack.

He posted this a month ago, I bet it's fixed already.
It's amazing to me how many of us get keyed, smashed windshields, graffiti'd or otherwise vandalized. WTF. On the upside, it does mean that people think your car is super nice looking...if it wasn't, they'd just ignore our cars.

What I discovered is, wherever your car is, if it is nicer "looking" then 70% of the cars out there (which ours are), it will get the "look". Sometimes, dubious people will get jealous and you know the rest. My car got egg'ed after 1/2 year but so far *knocks on wood*, nothing has happend after a year.
