Did your insurance cover it? Cause I would imagine the shop would have just replaced the body panels or something? Or was the damage not significant enough to warrant that?
Just curious, =)

Yes, my insurance company covered it, and I even told them it was my own fault. Allstate never questioned it. The entire panel would have to be unrepairable for the panel to be replaced. That isn't an easy operation with the way this car is designed. In fact, the body shop owner told me he isn't fond of it.

Oh well, it was fixed, but I will tell you....the body lines on the natural bends in the sheet metal will never look exactly the same.

That's a bit disconcerting. I will be eyeballing the repairs on mine with a magnifying glass later I can see.
