      anything is fixable. especially is insurance is footing the bill.

        I'm ashamed to say I don't really have any good 'before' pics.... other than these few sh1tty ones

        Car will be like new again ...hopefully better

        More pics and a proper intro to follow upon completion of the fix

                Uh, am I the only one who is positively disgusted at the idea that someone will charge $10k to fix that amount of damage?

                  I wouldn't bother me if it was 2X that amount.

                  There's $2500 worth of parts, and about 130 hours worth of repair.

                  What the pics don't show is the impact was hard enough to wrinkle the roof.

                  I wouldn't be surprised if it actually goes up once they're into it further.
