Finally got my car back - 09/08/08 01:58 PM

Repainted the front fender, replaced front door, reskinned the rear door, replaced front mirror, repainted rear fender and rear bumper, replaced rear rim, and replaced the lower rocker panel.

$3200 repair. All because some old guy couldn't check to see if there was a gigantic car beside him before he merged left.

I would have just had them repaint the whole car.

I doubt it will be noticeable, the car has been garaged since it left the lot and turtle wax every 3 months. I'm going to take whitelight pics (true color) tomorrow so I'll know for sure whether you can see fading or not.

The LED wiring got kinked when he hit me and grounded out burning up the control module that makes them flash in sequence so I have to rebuild that but other than the controller they all still work perfectly.

Since I've owned this car since it was new, I never slammed the doors. So when you close them, a very light push will latch them tightly... The door they replaced I have to use force to close now =( thankfully I rarely have passengers.
