My car got molested by a guardrail.
Sigh... Only 2 weeks old and 1400 miles on the car (Yes I drive a lot).. I was on my way up to killington, VT to go boarding. Unfortunately, i fell asleep at the wheel, and when I woke up, i saw i was headed straight towards the guardrail. I steered it outta the way but it was too late. At least I didn't hit it dead straight on... The front fender got banged up, doors got banged up.. Those are easy to replace.. But the worst part.. The rear Quarter panel got banged up pretty bad...
I've gotten a quote of $230 for the front fender and $230 for the whole rear quarter.. is that a decent price? (i got the doors for free...hehe).. and does anyone know of a great shop that does fast work and doesn't charge much in the nyc,jersey area?.. what should I be expecting to pay to get the rear quarter replaced and painted? The doors and fender I can do my self.
here are the pics....

i was complaining about a scratched bumper too.......
the day i got into the accident.. in the morning, i had my apr exhaust put in.. and when it was up on the lift, i noticed that some jerk parked behind me, and swiped my car a lil to get in and some paint came off.. so i got pissed... but to my surprise, things were to just get worse from there.. both my rims are scratched up too.. 
.... and the rear tire is bent in a bit? bent spindle? any suggestions?
