Bad day for my Frozen Blue M3cs

mpizutti · 04-24-2019, 04:11 PM

Well this turned out to be a sad day..as I was driving on the highway a few miles from my house..something flew over the Jersey barrier..or maybe thrown from a car going the other way..and I did not have the dash cam up..I know my bad..but either way..damage to the car is over $10,000 before PPF reinstall..another $4500.
Most importantly I am ok what ever it was flew over the car and not into the windshield.
I did go back and try and find an object that may have done this but no luck.
Now the question is do i
1)sell slightly damaged Frozen Blue hood OR
2) mount in garage as a piece of art??

ouch bro. here i was bitching about my MW repaint haha. Well glad that didnt make it through the windshield or your head would be garage as a piece of art

hope it all works out for you.

Whats the jersey barrier? Where were u traveling?

brocurls · 04-24-2019, 04:20 PM

OUCH, at first glance, looks like someone took a tomahawk to it.

Sell the hood. One man's junk another man's hood for the track??

RustySeatbelt · 04-24-2019, 04:24 PM

Garage mount. Huge regret I never mounted one of my favorite hoods when I had the chance. You can always sell later if need be, but enjoy it while you can.

At first glance, I thought it was bird dropping. Sorry to see but you are right that it could have certainly been far worse had it made contact with the windshield.

I would mount it in the garage. Or perhaps make a creative table top out of it?

That's what we call the cement division on the highway

Table top..nice option..will keep that in mind

DAMN!!

Holy hell that's crazy. Glad nothing else is damaged. Glad that it did not make you swerve and crash.

That being said, how much?

The whole car needs PPF?
If you’re installer is charging you $4500 for hood and bumper PPF you are getting ripped off

Also sell the hood. It’s fixable

Glad you are ok and sorry it happened, but why so much for the hood and front clip/plus paint? Is other areas of the car damaged that aren't in the pic?

That includes the rocker panels and the ceramic coating for the car
The ceramic coating is 1500.

Damn it

And option 2 will do

Both the hood and bumper look like they could easily be repaired. Can't believe that they need to be replaced.

Tommy L Garage · 04-24-2019, 06:29 PM

$1500 for ceramic coating the front?
Seriously...that’s robbery

Whole car

maniz · 04-24-2019, 07:16 PM

You do not need to recoat the entire car for replacing two panels. Same for the PPF obviously.
