The job is done,and the rust was worse than the pic looks (it spread all over underneith the paint) They fixed it properly with a cut out that I got from another 90, and it should last forever now. They also detailed the car.. But still, another $400 thrown into this biotch... ahhh!!

Default thanks guys...

Well, I know that I got a great deal(my father knows the owner of the body shop)its just that it's my first time getting body work done, so at first I was alittle iffy on the price. Especially being 19 and putting all my money into this thing. I think for anyone else he would have charged much more.

But thanks for the good input.. makes me feel better
