ouch! that sucks, looks easily fixable though, and at least those hood louvers weren't damaged, those seem to be getting really expensive now. beautiful car though, any before pics?

Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop

heres a couple of befores... there not the best but the easiest to link up right now haha i got plenty more if you wanna see others... n when it came to the parts the front bumper cover was the hardest to find... but for some reason they had 16 brand new gm OEM front ends lying in the middle of michigan chevy dealer ((NOTE THAT haha))... the insurance company gave me 5 grand for repairs so i went with all brand new gm parts expensive but worth it... now im just tryin to find a good body shop

I never drive it in the snow, let alone rain... Shes always been garage kept... But when i first bought the car, the guy who had it before me treated it like ****... Louvers were a primer black, speakers were drilled into the floor, pink rims, bad boy stickers etc etc, it was bad haha... so i ended up treating the paint and painting the louvers n the top lip of the spoiler a 3 stage black... it looks crazy sexy in person... its won a few awards, but with the new paint comin i dont know if i should just dip it or keep with the black accents that i have

Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop

That sucks man

It's an easy fix though, fender, hood, bumper door, easy. There might be some apron or radiator support damage but nothing major.

I'll see what I can find in your area, I work in the industry but I don't know many shops down your way.

From the pictures the fender is f...ed anyway. Pull it out and let a thirdgener fix the car right.

Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop

word, im all for that... but a car so attractive as a thirdgen should not be seen in dispare like that... i'd have to put a sign on the back window that says "Not My Fault" just so i dont get the evil eye for wreckin a nice car... On a 2 hour trip, thats alot of nasty looks... definitly if a fellow third-gener pulls near me haha
