Scratches on my car by santocs

Hi,
 
I was on vacation and somebody has deliberately scratched my car on one side. Has anybody put the side moldings to avoid scratches on the car? is it necessary to go to a dealership itself?
 
And the scratches are around 1 feet long. any idea how much would be the cost to get it repaired? they just repaint it or do a lot of stuff? there is not dent.. just scratches.

Front Bumper Clips...... by msbr743

Does anyone know what the clips are that hold the bottom bumper on the '09 SE? Apparently mine have popped out on one side & I'm not sure where to get replacements. I'm sure if I went to the dealership they would charge an arm & leg to replace them. Just wondering if it's something I can p-up at an Auto Zone or something.

I'd just go to the dealership, they may replace them for free under warranty....unless it's obvious you hit a curb or something.

I agree with kiawah. You can go crazy trying to find the right size aftermarket clips that will fit exactly.
 
The clips may cost a dollar or so each (at most), so it's still pocket change. (Granted, Toyota probably paid 2 cents each for their manufacture.)

09 Camry with Interior issues by megaklf

I have a 09 Camry and have been having problems with the molded plastic panels throughout the car. There is light spots showing up every where on the panels. (door, plastic cover below the sides of the seats, etc.)
The car has been to the dealership 2 other times getting these panels replaced. We are now going back the third time for more spots appearing.
Has anyone else had a problem with the interior plastic pieces?

Hubcaps or Alloy Wheels by chris789
Jul 03, 2009 (3:42 pm)

I have a 1996 camry with hubcaps and the paint is flaking off them and am planning on getting a new camry and am deciding if the alloy wheels would be easier to take care of. I've been reading that the alloy needs to be cleaned often otherwise the break dust collects on them and is hard to remove. Anybody that has alloy wheels how often or after how many miles do they need to be cleaned? I'm leaning towards the hubcaps as they hold up pretty well and other than running it through the car wash every couple of months still look pretty good.

I have alloy wheels on my 2004 Camry (also on my '98 Nissan Frontier) and have found that regular washing, at least every month or two, with regular car soap will keep the wheels looking great. But you do have to wash them manually, a "touch-free" car wash (the only kind I use) won't do the job completely.
 
With alloys, though, you have to be extra-careful when parallel parking -- you don't want to scrape those expensive wheels against a curb. Replacing hub caps is much cheaper.
