Last night 2 of my friends needed a ride to the store (both are the kind of ppl with some extra weigth on their bodies) me and my other friend wanted to go too so all 4 of us went in my car, my 2 heavy buddies were in the back and i had the music really loud while i was driving.... anyways this morning i went to my car to get some stuff out and i notice that my paint is peeling really bad due to the tires rubbing on the car:mad: .
i know pix suck but you get the idea.

Any decent body shop should be able to fix that.
Tell your friends to go on a diet.

:tup: Because of the location, any decent body shop should be able to touch that up. I've even seen mobile guys able to do that in a few hours. Hunt around and somebody can do it no prob...

perhaps putting the factory suspension back on along with some kind of a hockey puck (<-- poor man's lift kit, i've seen it done while in college in michigan) and that shouldn't be a problem anymore.
as far as a shop, there's one in Mission Viejo that i swear by, it's called Quigley's and they do fantastic work, it's the only place that i will allow to work on my avanti (mainly because they are one of the VERY few places that does fiberglass body work) regardless, they are good guys

A lift kit haha. If you ain't rubbin you ain't dubbin right? Well I did the exact same thing but didn't want to bother taking it to the bodyshop to get the quarter repainted since I will probably do it again. So I took some time and touchup paint and you can hardly tell unless you look up close.

That is an easy fix: anyone who has colorsanding experience (touchup or blending) should be able to tackle it. Or Repaint the quarter..... which I would do, but I am OCD like that. 8-)
