The pics says it all...
The A pillar isn't bent, at least not by the door hinges.The shop is milking the Insurance company for more cash.

"Bodyman", you wanna jump on that??

Anyways, if your shop knows a thing or two, your car will be fine.

On the new quarter panel,ask for them not to cut it.Go ahead and have them run it right over the top of the door window down to the tip of the corner of the hood. Saw one guys who needed a new quarter ,they cut and JUST used the quarter and you could tell at certain angles where it had been cut.They have to buy the whole quarter panel so why not use the whole quarter panel.I'd say new door,new mirror,new fender,new quarter panel.Also if your body shop will do it,you may be able to use "new -take offs" and save some oney for some Agent 47 mirrors or another nod you had in mind. All are different though,Good Luck and they should ask you if you want OEM parts or aftermarket parts,choice is yours. Brent

The bodyshop cut my new 1/4 panel at the top/center and front/center of the 1/4 window and did the same cutting the mangled one off. This way they didn't have to get up into cutting the roof.

The lines are perfect and you cannot see the splice ....
