I informed wanabe of it, and thought I was shot by a paintball gun..
After 5 other opinions at home, I was shot at by a gun.. A real one.

It happend probably around 12:30 am in south beloit wisconsin.. I was slowing to a stoplight and remember shifting down to 2nd and I heard a loud ass pop sound.
I was freaking out thinking my tranny just did something really bad..
Light turns grean and I decided to get out of my car (i knew my trans wasnt messing up) I was pist as F*** cus i knew i was shot at by something, my first thought was a paintball gun. So I walk around my car to figure out what happend. A paintball gun wasnt the case, there wasnt paint splatter anywhere.

I was so furious at the moment I didnt give a FK what shot at me, I went searching the area for the punk ass fkr that did it. I still want to go back and do something about it.
I didnt call the police cus I was in wisconson and didnt know their number.. 911 probably would think im screwing with them, or say it WAS just a paintball gun.
its too late now for a police report isnt it?

heres my pics at home 15 minutes after it happend.








forgive my camera for sucking so badly

anyway. what should I do about my car?
im not about to take it to any ol' joe to take care of this. Will a honda dealership do anything, will they charge alot?
Am i going to get the same paint job?
How should i treat my cars open metal for now?
should i even attempt to get the dent out myself with the heat gun and ice?
I've really got too much on my mind for nonsence and ridicule. please keep that for yourself if it is.

 

post up in your local forum for the best body shop in our area-
really sucks, and i doesnt look to me like a paint ball...
i would definitely call the police to see what they say- your insurance might require a police report if youre gonna use insurance on this. i think that the police should be involved cause it was an assault of some sort-
gonna need paint

why do people have to do such dumb stuff (you are lucky that they were such a bad shot if that was a bullet!) ? !!

 

I agree with what wanabe said.

Good thing you are ok

Sorry about your car

 

If the mark is that big and there's no actual penetration, either the bullet was slow and tumbling or it wasn't a bullet. Judging from the angle and size of the dent, it WOULD HAVE torn the sheet metal had it been a bullet (pics of hard drive shot with a 30-06 - a large bullet - from 100 yards).

I'd say maybe a wrist rocket with a ball bearing or rock.

And sorry about this. Totally sucks

 

maybe a slingshot...stupid kids, still not as bad as what happened to me. mine got keyed on both sides kicked in the back and dented in the side, so i say your lucky for the little damage it did, it could have been a lot worse if it hit you and not your car

 

It doesnt look like a bullet. Looks like a pellet rifle or something. Why is the paint underneath a nice shade of blue?

Anywho, a bodyshop will have no problems with that.

 

eh? blue?? To me it looks like metal
Plus, sazuka blue a pearl like finish?
.........


I'll be back.. Need to check this out again

 

Pretty sure its metal

 

There is clearly a blue area in your pics. I see the metalic looking scratches but what are the blue parts? Paint chipping?

Take some decent pics outside with a real camera.

 

Got an estimate today for repair and repaint.
Credited Honda autobody work, reccomended to me by a Honda dealer.

As I drive into their parking lot, an 01' Ap1 Spa Yellow with under lip (front) side strikes (think thats what its called) and same for bumper.

They own 3 S2k's and know what they're about as well as how to take care of such problem..
Im happy to inform you all it will only cost me $460 to 480.
DAMN im happy!!! Thought it would set me back at least 700!

BTW. its raw metal underneath, no blue, no paint, just metal.

But if you insist on nagging me about the pic and the color, ill take a few. What kind of pics do you expect from a $500 video camera?
