Hit and run

[CR325IS]

Someone back into my car a few days before Christmas...I have insurance but only liability. I am just wondering how much it would cost to get my hood and grill bracket straightened out or if it would be cheaper to find another hood. Also if anyone has a ellipsoid headlight, front grill, or a zinn color hood let me know. Thanks!

That doesnt look too bad. Shame that whoever did it didnt bother to leave their info. You can pull most of it back out and it wont look too bad.

What I would do is do a little research on Google for the best PDR guy in your area - you being in SoCal, I'm sure there are several really good ones. Just make sure you find one of the top guys, as experience and individual skill is everything in the art that is PDR.

After you've found your guy, have them take a look at the damage. They'll be able to give you an honest assessment of what is possible with that kind of damage. I would be surprised if it couldn't be fixed. AND you'll still have your original hood.

cheaper to buy the parts in the same color

Sucks man, probably the same fucker that backed into my door the other day

Where in socal are you? I know a guy who may have parts if you choose to go that route.

Only short-term. That will devalue the car if resale is a concern.
