Haha. Hahahahaha. No.
Mine is rippled, portions of the corners of the door frame are pinched, and to achieve the same exact body lines would require a genie in a lamp. I was quoted 8 days minimum of labor for everything. That's not including the time i wait in line until they touch it. If i could show you in person, you would understand. OP has lighter damage luckily, but mine is going to require some time.

Not sure if you did that on purpose... but I see what you did there...

It will look fine most of the time, but under "certain" lighting conditions wether it be a bright sunny day, under a cloudy day or a type of florescent light, that blend will show it's ugly head. I've had 28 cars in my lifetime, had my share of bumps and bruises, had blends done by the best shops in towns and under certain conditions I'll still notice it unfortunately.

My issue is it's on the car facts. Yeah insurance will make it all better and yeah insurance will set me up with a rental or whatever but my vehicle will always carry that stigma... and sometimes you get messed around by dealers on your trade in value becUze of that

Well, Pho20, welcome to our forum ......

That's just too damned bad your car got messed up....

I'm sure the body shop will be able to fix it up to look as good as new ....

Yeah he will be made whole. In a way. Besides the diminished value and knowledge of the vehicle not being "right" since no auto body repair ever gets 100% the same as factory.


I've seen some goofy remarks before but why are you genuinely trying to stir the pot here, the guy is just venting. If you had to go through this (which you may have) would you genuinely just be like "meh. Oh well."?

I genuinely would be ok with it. Shit happens, I have insurance, all is well. I definitely wouldn't be missing work because my car was in the shop, what kind of idiot doesn't have a contingency for that? Sure it sucks, bit crying to the internet about shitty drivers is ridiculous. Every time you pull your car out of your driveway, you're taking a risk. Don't want to deal with that risk? Guess you should just park your cheap, easily replaced sports car.

When I got hit by the magically direction changing, flying LCA on the highway I fully understood that shit happens.
I had zero issues with insurance.
I had a rental car right away.
It took over a week to have a 6 inch slit in my quarter fixed.
The job was perfect and there is no way I could even see a difference in the paint.
All in all the repairs went perfectly.


That does not mean for one second that I was "OK with it". It was heartbreaking to see that damage to my car and a total pain in the ass to get it fixed.


The only bright spot was having cars on the highway slow down and pull over every time I came up behind them in that black Charger rental.

Damn... I feel your pain. I once had a brand new car for 3 days before it was backed-into by a careless driver. It was still on the first tank of gas and had temp tags on it. The worst part was it took a month to repair because it was a new model and replacement parts were on back order.

Best you can do is try to take your mind off cars for a while and enjoy the rental. Maybe go on a road trip somewhere with it
