After a nights sleep im finally not like wanting to punch myself, gonna go get some gas drop off papers at school and hit up body shops wish me the best of luck maybe Jesus can help me get this done for like 1800 heh.

Looks like your phone got hit too.

Is this your first car?

First car thats stick. So its been a little over two months. But you live and learn never gonna make this mistake ever again. Haha. and instead of replacing the panel i decided to repair it. so Tail Lamp (Replace)/Bumper(Replace)/and Quarterpanel (repair) is 1700.

So you're cutting corners to save money on body work? That always goes well. Spend the extra. Get it fixed right. How pissed will you be if it doesn't look right forever because you went cheap?

They guaranteed me its gonna look like new. and if i want to replace the quarter panel its gonna have to be rewelded and there gonna have to take out the back window and alot of interior things i dont want them to touch anyways.

I hope that's the case.

Beware of any body shop that says they will make it 'look like new' for some insanely discounted price. I always find out the paint does not match, clips missing, panels dont line up, defects still visible, etc etc etc etc etc.

Your luck is not strong with this particular car, maybe fix it, sell it, and move on:P

That's what I was getting at. Cheap body and paint work looks cheap.

Could of gotten a nice FI exhaust and some HFC with that cost of body work.
Best of luck on your parking skills and where you park it.

wow, 2 hits in a row. :( sounds painful.

sounds like when my Z and dd got it by something during a charity drive on the same f-king day. :mad:
why i help people and yet get a slap in the face twice beats the hell out of me. :shakes head: :icon17:

That really sucks man. When they say they "guarantee" it will look like new does that mean that if they finish it and it still does not look like it should, they will fix it until it does for no extra cost? Or are they just saying that to get your business. Get something in writing to ensure it is fixed correctly.

Sideskirt, DMV incident, hopping a curb and backing into a rail. Dude's an accident magnet.

Call a Paintless dent removal company in the area, if you let a body shop "repair" this then your probably looking at a lot of body filler aka BONDO. Which could crack later and not look perfect.

Seriously check out a paintless dent removal company first, worst case they say its too extreme to fix, best case will be 1000 times better in the end when you only need paint and not bondo and paint.

Here's a video I found that hopefully will brighten your day and show you there are better alternatives-
