OP... the best body shop I have found is called OC Bumper and Body
They do amazing work and are some of the best in the business at color matching. The owner is named Daryl and is a really nice, and more importantly, honest, guy who will take care of you. I had a similar issue and he tried to do everything he could without having to paint it free of charge before ever talking about costs to paint, etc. They are located where the 5 and 405 meet.

Check them out here... OC Bumper & Body - Auto Collision Center

-if you drop by, you can visit Seibon, they're right near each other

been going to them for years. never been disappointed.

^ uhm, i don't think Rob is there anymore. now, just ask for Kenny, he'll take care of you.

Seibon is no longer next door, they moved.

Raymond? Armando is no longer with K&W?

Aww man that sucks.. Dude I drive that freeway everyday :-/. I actually ended up going to Cerritos Nissan. They have an awesome collision center, they repainted my front bumper and machine polished the rest of my car for $300. Ask for Danny, not DJ but Danny. Tell him PJ sent you, he will take care of you. Had my car back in 2 days.

It is amazing how much crap is on the freeways out here...

I was on the 91E a few days ago, had a piece of metal come out of nowhere and smash into my front fascia. Left a big black scuff right on the nose... clear bra saved the paint though. Every day I see something flying around on the roads.
