I went to talk to the owner of the body shop yesterday and he said I'm looking at a minimum of $10,000 in damages. Everything just started adding up. I got to actually see the car in day light and i noticed that both turn signal lights were keyed, my A pillars between the front window and tiny rear windows were keyed, and some of the paint remover did seep into the door jambs causing a little metal to show. The crappy thing is that i need entirely new lights because the paint removal ate through the tail lights and headlights. Those lights arnt cheap either. It doesn't seem like a lot but literally every part of the car needs a repaint and new parts. Ahhh and i just thought about checking the trunk jambs to see if it seeped in there too. He said most likely the car will become a write off. With the cost of paint, labor, and new parts i wouldn't be surprised if it is a write off. I should know by the end of the week what the results are.
