There's no way it would cost 12 grand to fix that damage.

I'd laugh in their faces.

Can't you get a check cut first then shop around with different body shops?

I do not want to talk out of turn but wouldn't you be better off if they total your car and then you buy it back for a song and paint or wrap it any color you wish while pocketing most of the money?

SURPRISE!!!!! My $12k estimate is just

at the moment......Final quote for the damages....

Thats right......$16.1k total damage....

And yet she looks so innocent in this pic......and this is the BAD side of things...

They said my undercarriage was destroyed so a lot needed to be replaced....This was the same day they towed my car to the shop....They say it looked "deceiving." What do you guys think??? Pictured the same time as the pic above.

That seems excessive, but they're the professionals.

Very nice.

Just finished installing Kinetix HFC's. It took me around 3.5 hrs and that's including a couple of runs to Lowes for tools. It was no where near as hard as replacing the cats in my 300zx TT. The new Z sounds pretty damn awesome!
