Default crazy old florida driver runs me off road into curb, then drives away....need help

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/47995/img_8951.jpg"></center><p>
I thought I cleared the curb and just hit my tire, but no of course not. i held back tears...

what lip spoiler can I buy to cover this over?

can this be covered?

i saw the one here, but figured somewhere else sold it cheaper: http://collection.audiusa.com/store/accessory.asp?parent%5Fcategory%5Fid=11&amp;catego ry%5FID=120&amp;subcategory%5FID=532&amp;product%5 Fid=1852

i remember some company sold body parts painted factory colors...anyone know?

hoping not to spend more than $600 painted<ul><li><a href="http://collection.audiusa.com/store/accessory.asp?parent%5Fcategory%5Fid=11&amp;catego ry%5FID=120&amp;subcategory%5FID=532&amp;product%5 Fid=1852">http://collection.audiusa.com/store/accessory.asp?parent%5Fcategory%5Fid=11&amp;catego r

OUCH...I'm pretty sure that will cover it. You should get your alignment checked also

Default I had some similar damage from a piece of metal kicked up from a car with deep gouges in the plasti

Mc Kenna Audi in norwalk fixed it for $300. Like it never happened.

Default If it were me, I'd just have the damage filled,sanded and painted

Whatever spoiler you get will have to be painted and installed; which will double the price.

Default that sucks bro. I had a bad experience this morning.

my neighbor lives a lane up from me. i pull out onto the exit road from our community. he HAS to be in front of me, so he doesn't stop or even slow down, coming out of his lane. cuts me off. black viper, side pipes. gets on it. yea i know its fast.

i creep up to the stop sign behind him to get onto the main road. slight incline. he rips his summer (lol, it's 21 degrees) tires on the way out. stones, gravel spray on my car including the windshield. NOW i'm ticked.

i pull up to him at the next light. window goes down. he's all smiling, excited about his car, thinks I'm gonna say, dayum dude, you're so cool. no.

"what time do you get home from the office today?" I asked him. he replies "5pm - you want to race?" I answered "No, so we can discuss the damages on my car from your stunt"

Default Oh geez. Road debris is just a fact of life in east coast winters.

Amazing you'd be so petty about something like that.

The dodge viper has 335 width rear tires. Did you expect anything else?

Default I'm sure the guy in the Viper would be screaming like a 2 year old....

..if this had happened to his car. I'm guessing he's also the type that speeds through neighborhood steets 20 miles over the speed limit. A-holes like this need to be called out every now and then.

Default Malicious vandalism. One thing if it's accidental or in the normal course of driving,

but quite another when somebody does it deliberately. No different than keying a car or something along those lines IMHO.<ul><li><a href="http://www.viperalley.com/showflat.php?Board=general&amp;Number=569103">clas sy crowd</a></li></ul>
