Going to be repairing some scratches next spring....do you have anything to repair?
This Fall....alot of you know that a rcok from a gravel truck hit my hood and scratched it up prettttty bad. I'm going to try to paint the spots that are scratched and blend it in with the rest of the hood.....(wet sand & buff)
Also...the clear on my spoiler is starting to "fog up"....it has a white tint to it..and isn't very shiny....I've tryed several different compounds on it....but I think the clear is shot..(it's original)....and it's also doing th same thing to my deck lid (original paint too) So..I'm going to remove the spolier, paint it...and paint the deck lid.
Here is a picture of the hood....since then..I've buffed alot of it out...but it still bothers me...
Just thought I'd check to see if any of you are going to have to repair things because of stupid gravel trucks or because of stupid people period.

I have to get my door poppers fixed because the people who installed them are morons.......
Then I have to fix my engine and replace it with a new one......You can blame that on the moron who woke up one day and said let's make a camaro only have 170hp AT THE FLYWHEEL.....

Tons of stuff.
<UL TYPE="DISC">
<LI>The console where my window buttons are shot.</LI>
<LI>I have a headliner on order.</LI>
<LI>I need to fix my mirror, it currently turns the map lights on when I shot the door, it needs to be the other way around</LI>
<LI>I have a GFX peice at the body shop right now getting painted</LI>
<LI>My headers are leaking REAL bad. As soon as school is over, I am tearing them off and putting Stage 8 Locking Bolts and Dead Soft Aluminum gaskets on it. Also, I am getting them coated at ACS, including the Y-pipe.</LI>
<LI>The tuning is shot, I can't start the car with the CTS plugged in. I need a new wiring harness for a speed density car so I can put this speed density computer in and get rid of MAF</LI>
<LI>Parking brake doesn't work well</LI>
<LI>Desperately needs weatherstripping, all the way around</LI>
<LI>Needs proper speedo gears</LI>
I am sure there are more things... Now for the camaro.
<LI>Strut mount is shot. I have one here, just need to install it</LI>
<LI>Outside window stripping is broke, I have the proper peice here, just need to install it</LI>
<LI>2 Spinners on my wheels are tore up. I have the new spinners here, just need to install them</LI>
<LI>The front GFX are scraped up real bad, needs to be repainted</LI>
<LI>Doesn't shift into park properly, need to replace tranny cable.</LI>
I don't drive the camaro much anymore, other people do, and its never around when I have time to fix it

Hmmmm where should i start? I busted my axle on a curb this summer and since have replaced the rear end and gotten a new wheel. But,
The rear brakes are still squeaking like crazy.
Theres a decent scrape on the side corner of my front ground effect.
My speedo DOES NOT WORK
Paint randomly chipped off of my rear deck lid when i was washing it!@! In two places!
theres a nasty touch up spot on my rear passenger fenderwell that was on the car when I got it
A little bit of the clear has gone a-wall on one of the headlight pockets
Theres a crack in my dash pad
My speakers are rumbling
Stress mark in the plastic of my Z grill
OHH Parking Brake doest work at all
Rear hatch supports need to be replaced
I still love er tho!
And worst of all its got a pretty much stock L03 and auto tranny!
And im in college and broke!

hmm, just today I slid slowly on some ice and ended up in a stop sign head on, theres no damage, just some paint damage. the main problem was being stuck in a foot of mud. I also need to get a new antenna after it was stolen last night, and ice cream and eggs were thrown on my car.
