Default Getting my car back tomorrow!!

Well my car was involved in a slight fender bender a couple weeks ago, and as a result i needed new headlights, a new hood, and a new bumper. So I decided there was no better time to upgrade then right now...so I got one-piece valeo euro lights from ecstuning...a brand new S4 front bumper....and a new hood. Fresh new paint and a little face lift. There is my half full glass from the inconvience. Thats all.

Default insurance co would NEVER repaint a whole car

unless every panel was damaged and needed it.

Default yeah I agree

although you would be surprised what they will pull. I had my hood and bumper repainted, and they didnt blend it with the fenders at all! and they didnt paint all the way around the underside of the hood. They left it as exposed metal.

I hope they blended Alex's car.

Default i am not 100% positive if the fenders were blended...but the autobody shop owner

is a really good friend of the family so I'm sure no corners were cut...he has been working with me all along and actually worked the numbers with the insurance company to cover my $500 deductible.
