I don't think so  He spelled it that way in his posts as well... His first video from the cruise, he messed up very first thing by putting "monumets"  |

Nice kool! I'm so envious that you guys are already out cruising. I can't wait to retire and move to a place where I don't have to park my car for seven months a year. |

So perhaps I shouldn't mention that it was in the upper 70s the day of the cruise...  |

nice upgrades. what was the reason for it? extra cash? i hope it was not another misfortune with road debris. |

Thanks for the compliments guys Quote:

The reason??? Partly due to extra cash (not much...out of MY pocket ) It was not another misfortune with road debris...but the back wall of the body shop... They paid for rental vehicles for the entire time! They gave me a next to nothing price to repair my prior damage!
BTW, bigcat, that was the reason I no longer needed the SHR inserts. Quite surprised they were able to be reused!    
My "uh-ohs" that got fixed for almost nothing! 
I'll upload some better pics later this afternoon, but here is the the only pic I have on Flickr besides my sig pic.  Quote: |

| Thanks! Since the body shop was at fault, they paid for nearly all the repairs! I bought the GT/CS rear bumper and Xenon side scoops myself. All I had to pay was the remaining balance of the cost of installing the side scoops and the layout and painting of the BOSS scheme. After all was said and done, I only paid $1100 (including my $250 deductable from the original claim to have the hood repaired) while the total bill was over $8000  |

Wow! Talk about silver linings. What happened - did the guy not know how to drive or what? |

damn that sucks man.
bad enough damage to have to need a new quarter panel.
i've been working in a body shop now for almost two months now, sometimes with autos my big ass boots press both pedals at the same time a little bit. dunno if that was the problem in your case.
looks pretty sick though. i need to see more shots of the paint scheme on the hood. |

can you PM me the details of that? I am an ASE mater collision/paint tech and have never seen anything like that happen in a shop!
what was your reaction?   or 
i would have lost it! I am glad everything worked out to your advantage, but it sucks knowing that its been wrecked. was the 1/4 panel prior damage or part of the "wall"? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
