why me!

Well it finaly happend. I was in a parking lot sunday and I was going to get in my car and chceck out an 84 Z for sale with a Turbo IROC hood. and there were some people getting into the ford crown vic next to me and I reached for the door and saw a big white dent in my car! I was like, hey man I think your kid put a dent in my car! so I got his insurance info and he left. Now I have to go get an estimate on how much it will cost to get the dent out. check the link and let me know how much you guys think I will be charged to have it fixed and that spot painted.

I just got my winows tinted too. 35% MD limit still looks good though.

Look in the yellow pages and find the biggest flashiest ad, they will probably charge the most I think they're regional but J&M Body Shops are the ABSOLUTE WORST for estimates. They're the epitomy of finding an outrageous estimate.

EDIT: I mean that for the sake of obtaining money, then going to a place that had a GOOD estimate with your chunk 'o' change

How deep is the dent? from the pics it kinda looks liek it streched the metal, but that could be because of the white paint. If it did strech teh metal, and you wanted it fix properly (not just bodyfilled over) it could take some time to fix, mainly becasue of the location of the dent right on the edge of the 1/4. if it's not streched then it isn't really too much of a problem to fix.

it is fairly deep. and some of the white paint is from the other car and some is where my paint chiped off when they hit it.
And as much as I would love to get some extra $ and get an Eibach sportline kit, I know the guy and I just want my car fixed right for the best price posible.
