RE: had a little accident
okay well heres what happened today at the shop
they immediately called me and said NO we cant do the bumper
I came down and looked around a little bit
and the kid working on my car knows where I am coming from
and we agreed on this
they will install the jdm headlights, and the side skirts and the rear bumper
the kid working on my car works at another shop
and they will be putting on a black bumper courtesy of Goosey2099 (TGC) for the car to go from the one shop to the other
at the other shop the kid will install the front bumper
and I am sure the sideskirts also as they will give the shop some trouble too I am sure
and thats the end of that
they are worried about the structural integrity of the car

RE: had a little accident
todays update
front bumper is painted and looks sick, but not installed
rear and sides arent painted
argued a little bit over how long this is taking, told me into next week
came home started to wash the rental cause its too dirty was making me sick to drive :lol: but thats another story
got called by body shop, they are gonna have all painted by tomorrow and give it all to the kid to do it at the other shop cause he will work on it overnight. and I could have it back by the end of the weekend
now to the rental car. washed it and as I dried I noticed some motherf*&ker keyed the right side rear quarter panel, like 2 4 or 5 inch lines. I am hoping it was an accident, maybe someone squeezed past car and had keys hanging from their pants, I am gonna try and compound out
rental place said any scratches under 5 inches are considered wear and tear when I first got the car, hopefully I dont get charged extra for this ****

RE: had a little accident
news flash
car should be ready within the next hour or so. Was told they are putting the front bumper on and my strobe lights in the headlights. The headlights came out flush and perfect. He said the car looks mint. I just want to thank everyone for being patient on the forum with me and my venting and ranting and raving. I will have pics as soon as I am able to take them. I am either gonna run and get the car on my break tonight from work or get it in the am after work.
and yes the rental car place noticed the scratch real easily, but they said not to worry about it. They had me sign some forms and said their loss department will get in touch with me but not to worry about it
