Default Where o' where to go....

My wife was driving at rush hour on I75 N. She ended up hitting the rear end of a jag., Shes driving a lowered silver teg, so when she slammed on the breaks the hood curled in the front and theres cookie cut-outs in the bumper from the exhaust on the jag. Does anyone know of a decent place I can take the teggy to to get a new bumper, hood and the whole car painted for a decent price? I'm thinking the bill is going to be around 2k roughly for everything.

get a cf hood for about $350 so it doesnt need paint... and aftermarket bumpers are about $150 and have them color match the bumper...should save u about $1000 as long as none of the metal is bent...

I thought about that, the hood wouldnt bother me but the bumper would. I havent seen any front bumpers that look good. Im sure ill find someone that got rear-ended and declared it totaled and they shall be one. Its still driveable, so thats why I can wait alittle longer.

My buddy said theres a place across from the state fair called Unique Industries that deals with bumpers and such (need to be have a wholesale liscence), an integra bumper is 57.xx and the hood is 127.xx not too damn bad. Just need a good painter....to do the whole thing..

Keystone Automotive is local for oem parts, you can call for prices.

Edward did my body and paint, you can check out my car this Sunday at the track if you are there, his number is on my back window. JDM Red/Black hatch on white Volks.

Hope everyone is okay.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
