Total to fix was $2000 done by the guy who painted it the first time. Insurance gave me $4500 so I used the rest on the seats, headlights, other bullshit and football. Oh yeah, the whole car was resprayed and 3 coats of red pearl was sprayed over the paint, then like 3 coats of clear. Also had the side moldings shaved. So in summary $2000 to fix, shave moldings, and a full tri coat paint job.

if i remember correctly from your old post that at least one of your 1/4 needed replacing so what did he do with it just pull it and bang it out? cause you got a hell of a lifetime deal if he replaced it

No, he didnt' replace it. We pulled it first to see what the damage was like. When we pulled it the quarter panel unbuckled almost completely. Which was good because I didn't really want my car to be cut up and welded back together. That kinda work never comes out right and the car is never the same again.
