just got back from the shop. they quoted me $1500





bay area! if you know somebody who does, auto collision / paint. hook it up with a name or number

 

jesus 1500....
wth is that shop LO!Ol

car is?

i do remember seeing someone posting scruff like that up and doing it up for less then 100$ oO

 

Car is...an s200 SkaiWu. $1500...do they lube you up before they rape you? Holy Christ...

Go somewhere else. That's ridiculous.

 

1500 is nuts. should easily be fixable. you shouldnt need a new bumper or fender.

 

Instead of posting this on the internet, go drive to a few shops and get some quotes.

$1,500 is not right either.

 

price in the east would be 700-800

 

It is kinda high, but depending on the condition of your paint, they might have to repaint a lot of the car and try to blend it in. Again, $1500 is high. Keep in mind though, you get what you pay for.

 

That price IS high, but if I were you i'd get a new fender and bondo the bumper, some would disagree. That fender probably could be bent back, but it's not worth the hassle.

I'd say 500-700 depending on the shop for the bodywork right there.

 

You could try to find a passenger side fender and front bumper off another S2000 of the same color. That would definitely be cheaper than the quote you were given.

^ i seen that thread. but in some places the paint is completely gone.

 

oh...how unfortunate, but still $1500 is still too much.

get a HT member to do some work.

 

i would pay 1500 to get a new OEM fender, OEM bumper, and OEM lip.

 

unless 1500 covers your deductable too..and a dinner for two.

 

damn, 1500.....i got a quote to have a DC2 full bodywork, including replacing both rear quarter panels for 1500. and yes, thats before paint. you should just find another fender, bumper and lip and just have it paint matched. or even better if you can find it in the same color.

 

if your near alameda give dream autoworks a call. they do good work and i kno for sure its less then 1500. it was around 300 to get my entire bumper and lip to be repainted. im sure they can blend it pretty well. or like others said fine one of the same color.

 

baseball bat
sand paper
Dupli-Color touch up paint (or Honda if your picky)
extra fender clip
PpG clear coat
and a buffer


thats about $200 @ most right there
now all you need is about 2.5 hours of labor not including dry time


but thats just me

the reason they qouted you 1500, is because even though they COULD fix the panels and repaint them, they would rather replace them and charge you 1500. Screw that place, sand them down yourself and take them to a shop, have them sprayed, take them home and install them yourself.

 

USA Touch Up next to the Sharks tank in Downtown San Jose. The last time i went there for an estimate, i got friendly service, a good price, and saw a bunch of dealer cars. i asked them why they were there and they said they do dealer cars on a regular basis as well. i saw bmws to subarus. cars looked showroom condition when they were done.

how far are you from san jose, I have a friend who does all my body work related stuff for my shop.I'll give you his address if you want
just so you know; he fixed a whole body panel for me for only 200.00.

 

i hit someone, wrinkled my hood, bent core support, broke both headlights, and messed up bumper and mine was around 1500

 

i had damage much lighter than that, just a cracked bumper and headlight, crinkled fender, and the insurance co paid $2500 for that. and insurance co's are tight, they won't pay up unless they have to.

 

A friend of mine had his front bumper painted on his S2000 at a local dealer's body shop and it was $500 without having to replace any parts. You get what you pay for and especially with an S2000 I bet that fender for an OEM one is not cheap at all. If I were you I'd take it to a few other places and pick the one that can show you the best quality work for the best price.

 

on my 6th gen civic i tore off my whole front bumper, support, brackets, broke one headlight, bent the core support, messed up both fenders, and bent my hood.

I bought most of the replacement parts, a friend of a friend hooked me up, it was only $300.

I say try find a new fender and bumper at a junkyard, have it painted, and buy the lip yourself
