$500? Not much damage? Almost 3 years ago, I fishtailed and spun around and hit some guardrail at about 5-10 mph. I almost was stopped. But it hit right where the hood, fron panel and bumper meet, and it ended up costing $5000. Insurance paid for it, and I had it done where Progressive recommended, at some Cadillac/Porsche dealer (I think). Somewhere near Anderson/Hillsborough. Everything still looks good.

No theres a good amount of damage, but my deductable is $500. I hit in the front and kept spinning and hit in the back as well. New front bumper, hood, headlight foglight, front quarter panel, rear quarter panel, trunk lid, taillight, and rear bumper at the least. The car is still perfect mechanically, but it looks like hell.

I get my stuff done at Mike's Autobody here in Clearwater, on 49th St. Right down the street from where I work. He painted my race wheels, roof scoop, did my scratch/dent repair from the shopping card.

Just wanted to follow up on this thread. I decided to go to Superior (4 recommendations in this thread alone swayed me), and I couldnt be happier. They run a great business there and it shows. When I went to check up on the repairs about a week ago and saw the Aston Martin Vanquish being repaired next to my car in the shop, I knew I had chosen the right place. The staff there was more than meticulous with the repairs, and treated me very well everytime I was at the shop or on the phone with them. They even painted an STi hoodscoop for me for free. So yeah +1 for Superior. If I ever need bodywork done again Ill be paying them another visit.
