It may be worth contacting your insurance company to see if you can get a new trunk lid...vandalism shouldn't lead to a premium increase. When my old car was vandalized I had $1400 of body work done to it and all I had to pay was the $500 deductible and there was no premium increase. And then I got the deductable back when the idiots that damaged my car got caught and my insurance company went after them for the whole damage amount.

worthless, good for nothing people FTL

I doubt i'll be able to get a new trunk lid. my deductable is 500 also and this fix isn't gonna cost me no more than 420 to 430 or so.

It's gonna get fixed, I just need to save up and wait till the winter time. I have a good feeling that it should be fixed in the winter time here in FLORIDA cause the air will be cool, crisp and dry with no humidity. And I will still have the sun .

Man, Im still ont sure if I like the new Civics or not...but damn, thats horrible! Luckily youve got black paint, not metallic black as that would be harder to match.

Could have been worse I suppose. could have happened on numerous panels.

yeah my paint is flaked with blue in it but not much. yeah i'm also glad that it didn't happen to other panels too. the people at the bodyshop said they'd match it very well and have perfect amount of ORANGE PEEL to flow right. they're gonna have to repaint the whole trunk lid for the job to be perfect though.

I'm starting to think that it wasn't vandalism but rather a stray rock from a lawn mower or weedwacker.
