Dang some dumb ricer hit my camaro

[iroc-305]

what do you guys think this damage what cost to fix at a body shop i got a new bumper and rh fender and ss hood but i what to know how much what it be to fix the damage on the metel

[GradeZ28]

ouch! how did that happen? What kind of car hit you?


as for shop costs.. its really up to where you go.. if there is frame damage your looking at spending a LOT of money

[greg_74]

Why the hel* do you have to pay for it if he hit you? If there is frame damage, it gonna be a lot.

Honestly, an insurance company would most likely total that.

To take it to a good, reputable shop, you're looking at spending more than the car is worth. I took mine to a place and all I did was roll into a truck (e-brake gave out) and they quoted me $2,700.. I laughed my way out the door.

I would check for alignment issues, frame damage, etc, then consider doing it yourself or asking a friend (or a friend of a friend) in the auto body industry.

Irving, Man, I'm sorry to see that! Real shame. Please keep us posted on the fix.

Good point, they may total it.

Jesus freaking Christ! You just got that car like....2 days ago! Sorry about what happened, man. I'm parking the T/A tomorrow...

It's hard to tell from a picture but since it didn't actually hit the frame rail itself the frame damage would be very minor but it looks like it does have some side sway in it. The most expensive part will be replacing that upper rail, strut tower apron, and radiator support. Around here you'd be looking at about 1500-2000 just in frame work. Not including paint or getting any body panels fit up. But I'd say we're probably cheaper than it is in cali. To bad you're all the way out there, Thats some good side work.

i know what i would be doin to a ricer.....

[iroc-305]

here the story i just got the car wasnt even under my name nothin no insurance and some 1 did a hit and run and smaked that side out

[GradeZ28]

did you see the car that hit you? File a police report?

This was quoted at over $10,000 damage (there was frame damage though)

[Mase]

its totaled. I got an estimate to paint and fix a dent behind my door for $3000. You have a lot more damage.
You need hood, fender, bumper, inner fender, bumper supports, rewire that side of the front end, plus to be done right replace the radiator support. Then your looking at painting. And that all assumes theres no frame damage.

[addicted2fun]

done and done bro, the insurance company will total that.

[pumpkinman]

but didnt the last owner have insurance in it? i heard when we bought our car that we still had insurance from the previous owner like couple of days after the purchase. if i were you i would go to a DMV and check that out

[Greg Norris]

first off, did they find the guy that did it? shoot him.

secondly, the ins will more than likely total it. if they choose to do so, find out what they will sell it to you as a totaled/salvage title. then make it a drag car.

if they dont total it, check for frame /alignment issues. either way its gonna be a pretty penny
