What also makes you mad is you probably just missed seeing it happen you were only in the store for a short time. I came out from a store once and a shopping cart was left one inch from my truck I would of just loved to come out of the store and see the idiot that left it like that.

And I just finished with some clearance hammering and cutting to make more room in the wheel wells.

Took the Tahoe out for a drive to make sure I wasn't rubbing on anything and that it was clear (it worked out great btw) and I stopped in to Autozone to pick up an air freshener for the Tahoe and some grease. Might as well get out and admire the ride height, I guess. Plus, I get to see if backing up grinds anywhere....

Anywho, come out after being in the store for about 10 minutes to this... And dude took off so I have no clue who did it. No cameras.

Now I get to talk to someone about the cost to fix the grille, fender, and bumper (starting to crack and come off from the impact)

Though it's going to drive me nuts that the paint will be good on one fender and shit on the rest of the vehicle. lol...

Might do some fiberglass "caps" on each side of the bumper, then paint the center section black, but that may just be too much at this point.

Might end up pulling the trigger on a widebody fender sooner than I thought...

My gf drives the Hoe 90% of the time and when she goes to the store, she always parks away from everyone else in No man's land. She's the only one there and by the time she comes out, there's always people parked around her. People are just so inconsiderate. I hope it doesn't cost too much to fix it.

Tahoe is in the shop and I'm rocking a damned Altima...

Pulled the headlights so I'm removing the little bumps and reclearing while the work is being done.

Wow I didn't realize how bad those got. Good work.
They didn't get too bad lol... That was after I had done a lot of sanding on the left one with 600 grit... still did more to remove all the crap clear that comes on it though.

The clear one is the one I haven't touched other than de-nubbing them. I HATE those damn nubs.

What kind of clear to you spray on them ? Does it help with the yellowing?

I got lucky with mine. Circle in the lines for projector and no nubs.20180212_123501.jpg
