Car finally fixed after accident!
So after 7 weeks and about 12K in damage I finally have my car back. It feels like I have a brand new car again! I went ahead and swapped my black chrome pony and had the GT 500 rear fascia added.
The car was hit by a handicapped driver while sitting in a parking lot.
Just the highlights of the damage:
The left rear quarter panel was completely replaced.
The rear bumper was replaced.
The front bumper was replaced.
The hood was bent and repaired.

Here's a few pics of the car that I took today:
All in all please enjoy your car. I know I really appreciate it now that I have it back.

Thanks Monkey!
The guy was driving a 2007 Toyota matrix. His hand grips that control the car came off while pulling into the parking lot. He was paralyzed from a car accident 15 years ago and this was his first accident after driving for over 10 years. Kind of hard to get upset at someone when everyday you know his life is harder than mine.
I've learned a lot through this experience. I had no idea this type of work was possible. It really comes down to finding a reputable shop you can trust.
