My car is fixed!!!

Before

and after

I spent the extra money and took it to a nice shop with a guarantee on the work as long as I own the car and I'm glad I did

I was pulling into my garage and my little brothers rabbit was also in there aparently. To avoid killing the rabbit I ended up scraping my car against the side of the garage. In retrospect it would've been cheaper to replace the rabbit...

Very nice fix, looks absolutely brand new again! I love that color on the 3rdgen Pontiacs also....just lends itself really well to the design.

On a side note, FirebirdNYC, if you'd deliberately kill an animal just to save your car from damage - you're a pretty sick deviant with a noted deficiency of respect for nature.

If it were a bug I wouldn't have seen it so no I would've just squashed the bug. I paid just under $1150 for the work, I know its pricey and I got lower quotes but everyone said these guys were the best and if someone did a bad job I didn't want to have to pay someone else to fix it. She's my baby and money is no object...provided I have the money...
