I had a lady back into me on the road. She felt compelled to back up because she was blocking an intersection. Said she couldn't see me. Her SUV gave me a couple of good scuff marks on the hood and bumper but didn't crease any metal. Cost her $300 and I was happy with the result. I managed to accumulate several door dings including the one my next door neighbor gave me the day I brought it home. Also acquired some paint chips and such so I had the paint guy deal with these when I last had my car detailed. This went for about $250 counting the detail. I was really happy with the results of this. So 30 months of ownership and it still looks fairly good. The rims are rashed up pretty good but I can live with it. It's not a show car just a daily driver.
