Default Finally got bumper fixed..

So if you remember, about a year ago someone hit me in a parking lot, put a big dent in my rear quarter panel, and pulled some paint off my rear bumper..
most places were quoting me 700+ to get it fixed.

My insurance agent put me in touch a week or two back, and I talked with a local guy that runs a shop in town, mainly doing repairs for cars at dealer lots..
$225 bucks later, here we have it.!
Looks flawless..he did an amazing job pulling it out, and blending the paint. Have checked it from several angles, diff lighting, etc, and can't even tell.

Feels so good to finally have a clean car again!
Just need my wheel replaced now!



BEFORE:


AFTER!!!!





Also, plastidipped my spoiler!
Soon to come: CDC Decklid panel, Faux cap delete, and tinted tails!
oh, and gloss black vinyl wrap on the roof.

You got a good deal! Somebody hit my front bumper, scratching and denting it, while my car was parked. It cost $760.03 to have the bumper repaired (not replaced). His insurance company paid for all of it.

In the first pic showing your spoiler it looks like you can still see the damaged area of the quarter. Or is it just me?

Personally, I can't see a damn thing haha. Good fix and your ride is really coming together, digging the black trim you've been adding/spraying!
