F.I. - Carbon Fiber Scratched??

It looks like someone is mad at you. The scratches look to be surface but the red paint area are pretty deep. Honestly it looks like someone grab a key

That just plain sucks. I would call your insurance company to see how much would be covered to get it fixed by a body shop.

If they won't cover it or the deductible is too high, there's always touch up paint sites like AutomotiveTouchup which I've heard guarantee a color match.

I seriously doubt that, if i hate someone so much that i wanna do damage to the car, i definitely wont crawl under and scratch your exhaust where i can easily scratch the surface of the car.

Doesnt look like dmg from speedbumps due to the angle. Did you leave the car at a shop? Maybe you dragged something under the car without noticing?

Thats why i dont think someone did it intentionally. The only place i left it at is the detail shop, but why would they be under the car like that?? (although they did mess my window up tinting it and i made them replace it, spite maybe? Seems silly to go scratching the muffler under my car where you cant even see it when you look from the back...) doesnt seem right. Like I said, not much I can do, just really strange. The main point of the thread was to see if anyone else had scratches happen to these. At least if i knew they did in fact scratch easily then I could peace of mind hahha.

The only thing i can think of is when i hit a big piece of asphalt not too long ago, maybe it somehow dragged or something?? Thing sounded like it exploded underneath the car. I thought i seriously f*cked up my front end but it much have just cleared...
