Well guys I am very new to the forum and this will be my first post. Just bought 4runner about 6 months ago, its an 05 SR5 V8 2WD, and I love everything about it (except the open diff and "no" off roading
) and I have done lots of searching on this forum and done several mods. Always kind of lurking in the shadows to inexperienced to give my own input.
Also I hope I am posting this in the right spot.
But to get straight to it I am a teenage driver which means I "occasionally" make mistakes and it pains me to say it but I backed into my wall the other day out of utter carelessness (sorry runner
). The first major scar on a 05 4runner with 78k miles.
So what I am really asking is if anyone has done this before and what should I do? I really hate the mark but my experience in taking out door dings and scuff marks inst really going to help.
So my options and hopefully someone whose more experienced can set me right:
Let it be and live with my mistake even though it looks bad.
By a new body panel online or a dealer something and get it painted (probably $$$)
Paint Kit? (difficult probably and hard to get right with no experience painting)
Plasti-Dip or Spray Paint (Idk just hate the way it looks)
Or any other option someone can think of like having a body shop paint it
Also I am a teenager meaning I don't really have a stable income so the cheapest way possible would probably be the best. Anyways if you've made it this far into the post thanks for listening to a teenager ramble and any input would be much appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Keith
