TRUCK Hit Me!
I know I have a g35, but you guys love your car just as much as I do. I wanted to see if you can help me.
I have had my car repaired numerous times! I had my rear bumper replaced. I had my driver's side door and my entire passenger panels repainted because someone keyed my car. I had a passenger side panel repainted because of vandalism. My front bumper was repainted because someone scraped it. After all these repairs, I have been relatively happy with the results. However, when people with a keen eye for repainted and damaged parts look at it, they bring attention to the damaged area. They would say the paint is a little off, etc.
Do you know of any body shops in NYC, Long Island, or New Jersey (an hour or less to Manhattan) that can get my car's condtion back to Autopian standards?
It really makes my heart cringe...
Top view:
View from the front:
Another view:
Damage of the bumper. It also seems to be misaligned. I'm guessing the truck's weight crushed my car downward:
Notice the gap at the headlight:
Here is the condensed version of what happened:
The truck was a flat nose truck. The passenger side corner of what carries the cargo hit into my car. The front edge of the truck’s “cargo box” wasn’t even damaged. There was only paint transfer from my car.
This is the truck that hit me
What is the x'ed part of the truck called? :
This is a paint version of what happened:
I was making a right turn. A truck that was behind me decided to cut in front of me even though there was no room. He kept on going and eventually crushed my car.

I took the picture at my home in manhattan. I don't go to school at Hofstra or NCC. I don't mind traveling as long as the body shop it good. I really want the car to look as it can to OEM specs. Can you please give me the info?
615 Atlantic Ave Baldwin NY, 11510. phone number is 867-2760. Penn Collision. Dont want pressure put on me though but they did my body work and came out amazing so take it for what its worth. its about 45 mins from manhattan. obviously depending on traffic. Ask for John and tell him Lawrence sent you. good luck
best bet get to cross island south to souther state east. i think its exit 19 which is grand avenue south. take down about 5 miles stay left when it forks right after merrick road. stay on grand ave take a right at atlantic ave. about 1/4 mile on left tucked back a bit. if you go over small bridge you went too far. its right b4 the small bridge on left.

Sorry to hear about the fender bender. You're lucky it's just front fender damage though, they can pop that puppy right off, bolt a new one up, paint it, presto, you're back on the road~ :-)

Good luck with getting it fixed!
P.S. The reflection in the second pic looks like you're about to be exposed
