^My frist car was a G35 and i didn't nick or dent it at all in 3.5 years. **** poor excuse...

BTW that is really cheap for the amount of damage you have. Body work isn't something that you just slap together for $200..

Oh you are quite the frank martin, you are...

LOL...

Anyway's i can say that the front bumper and the rear bumper was my fault but the sides dents and scratches was already there... If that makes a difference. And im not making excuses im being real. In nyc alot of hazards, narrow roads, reckless drivers, not just me... lol.

And im gonna do everything in my power to make this carf look like new. just want it done for a reasonable price. it'll take a minute to raise 1300$ still gotta pay rent, cell, car note and insurance.

Oh and gas is officially 4.50-5.00$ a gallon here!!!! Yay!

Don't mean to hate, but that made me cringe and laugh.

Um... no.

Running into things is rather the opposite of a "decent driver"
Perhaps you're celebrating 4/20?

LOL...yuk it up....

So i nick my car... scratch it. it hurts everytime i make a mistake. I dont need to be critisized because of it...

Like i said i live in new york im a decent driver in terms of not hitting a brick wall or running over people... There are worst drivers who been driving longer than i have. So.....

Anyways ugh i saw that damage with the repair. damn 3g's??? wow. it was worth it though...

You just about need a full paint job. Good materials are gonna be half that easy. No one in there right mind would do all that work for 700 labor. If they do they are gonna hack it without a doubt.

Absence from vehicular homicide and/or collision with large immovable objects is not proof of driving aptitude.
Your logic in comparing yourself to other drivers who are far worse would be like taking a math exam alongside the mentally handicapped to make yourself feel smart.

And don't get me wrong, I'm no picking on you for the damage, yes crap does happen... I'm picking because you run into things and then you say you're a decent driver.

Home Depot has Krylon on sale.

You can get a case for like 25 bucks and paint the whole car. It'll never rust either.

It'll look bitchin.

This. The price you got for the amount of damage is very reasonable.
