OMG, Becky's not even hot! or tales of my car in the parking lot.
If it's just a rim repaint, should be simple
Im seeing around 2-3k in body damage... You obviously need a new rear bumper... The quarter panel will need to be re molded and the inside of the trunk... The insurance company will claim that rim as damaged. Therefore if they replace the wheel it will get expensive on her end quick. My wife took my Mazda speed6 to school with her one day and it got keyed on EVERY panel. Doors, roof, bumpers, side skirts... Everything. Just pissed me off... I was quoted 4k for new paint.

Next month I'm a bit busy with field training, until the last week or so, but yeah, still up for it.

Hopefully I can get it dropped off and started repairs by Friday, that way I can get back from a week of field training to a repaired car.

Got the car back today!
Maybe I'm looking too closely, but I can see minor asymmetry in the left and right sides around the trunk, but I think I'm the only one who would notice.
But on the plus side, they repainted the side mirrors and tow hook plug, I've almost finished putting the mirrors together - just gotta get my heatgun to get them back in properly.
