So I was heading to work this morning and I was in the turn lane to turn into the parking lot of work and a lady in a 2012 Honda Civic decided to take the same turn as me but from the straight lane.

Busted my headlight into 500 pieces all over the road.





Anyone know of a good bodyshop in the Tuscaloosa, AL area?

 

BUMMER dude!
I don't know of a good body shop there...but be sure that they have a long time professional as your finishing painter...pearl is a b***h to match and blend!

 

it aint all that bad if u know what ur doin and the materials and tools bein used are good instead of junk

 

plus i wouldnt sweat it to much ud be amazed how cheap them headlights, bumpers, hoods, and fenders cost on the aftermarket......

 

UPGRADE TIME!!!!!!!!!! time to 02-03 your front end son, you can find a set of 02-03 headlights on here for cheap and just go to a junkyard and get a 02-03 bumper and foglights and you're golden

 

Picked up a repair estimate from Pop's Shop and Brown's Garage Body Shop.

Pop's was $2800 and Brown's was $3300. Pop's wants to repair my fender and Brown's wants to replace it. I'll take a new fender.

 

Start checking out the junkyards, Hood, Bumper Cover, Headlight Bumper support should be fine and it doesn't look like the fender took any real damage. If you are lucky you should be able to find stuff in the same color.

If you demand new or just cant find the parts there's a Certifit not horribily far from you in Forest Park, GA.

Bumper Cover $50.00
Headlight $62.00
Side Marker $17.00
Hood $128.00
Fender $49.00 (I'm not seeing the damage to it)

Roughly $306 (I rounded) not including tax.

Prep everything yourself then take it into the shop to get it all painted. Fit it all and you're good. Probably save yourself about $1500-$2000 this way.
