Before and After Accident Pics

Ok so I messed up my car a while ago and just got it back from the body shop. There are still a couple things that have to get done like put the handles, mirrors, and moldings but I am waiting for the new moldings and a new spoiler. But other then that I think it looks good. Here are the pics.

Accident and body work:

How did you get into the accident?

Haha I may make an appearance at the meet. I have a service for my grandfather in the morning but I may make the meet. I just wasn't paying attention one day and ended up hitting a stop sign

I went to Brothers Auto Body in Cromwell. It is the only place that has touched anyone in my family's car. They do awesome work. They are pricey but can usually work out a deal. They hooked me up because I took everything off of the car for them and I sanded it down and went in and taped the whole thing off so all they had to do was paint it. So I only ended up paying materials and booth time and it came out to $950. Plus the $300 I paid for the body work I got a really nice paint job for only $1200.

Yeah I got the whole car painted. I guess it is the stock color but I added I guess more of a pearl to it.

I have a white max, but with this sh***y CT weather, I'm not going to paint the car until next year when I move. Car looks great though!
