Front GFX..garbage bag = !@#$!!!!

!!!!!!

Hit a garbage bag on a poorly lit street, wasn't much I could do. I saw it about 100 feet before I got to it, tried to swerve but just couldn't get out of the way in time.

Question is: The GFX didn't split. But it pulled down 1/4-1/2 inch, which is easily fixed but...the paint rippled up & spider web'd. I'll have it fixed in a week or so, will the paint spider web on its own after I have it repainted? Or will it be okay...?

if the paint isnt sanded down to a surface which isnt webd, then it will web again. however, adding spot putty in the cracks may help. your iroc looks sweet.

Joshp: I would e-mail you, but none of my accounts function at the moment, will a PM be alright?


Thanks for the comments lol. I hit a garbage..BAG! I went back and it was filled with sticks, brush, rocks & dirt!!!!

Once I realized what it was, I had little time to react. It hit my passenger side of the GFX.

The contact made the GFX bend severely, making my paint 'ripple' and then spider web. And man...lol when it comes to my car...nothing ever goes right!!
