got in my first accident today

Yes it true, my dumb *** got into a fender Bender today. Hit a tundra and the trailer hitch took me out. No damage to the truck but my car got fucked.

If anyone knows a body shop that's super good let me know. I wanna get the highest quote possible. Maybe I can get some goodies out of this.

j03: check out Auto Xplosion in Gardena, they do a ton of custom body work, I know a few guys here who have used them to install kits, do custom paint jobs on Miatas (hint hint), etc

damn Joe!!!

Definitely find an expensive bodyshop and have them quote you.

Auto Explosion will take care of you after that, especially if you want to switch to anything aftermarket. They are the only bodyshop I let work on my car.

Its $500 so its no so bad. The only bad part is my insurance is going to go up so i might as well get something out of it.

Hopefully they are cool with getting aftermarket stuff instead of OEM.

The body shop I went to gave me a nice quote, but they would only buy the OEM stuff since they were so legit
