ouch. Not bad though like you said. about 5-600 in damages. It's just hard to get a good paint match on yellow.

Yea I'm still worried about that. Well see how it turns out. Insurance Paid me 1075.00 for damages. I'm trying real hard to find a decent body kit. Nissan's gonna paint it so it should be ok.

I had my front bumper replace and painted by the dealor and the match came out better than factory. (Daytona Blue) Good luck it will come out fine.

Well It went pretty smooth all things considered. He pulled into the lot with me and It was this 18 year old kid with his dads truck. Once I saw the fear in his eyes it was hard to be mad. He actually said He thought I was gonna beat his A$$ when he saw me. I had at least 100 pounds on him! He was so scared.

What's this about dealer's painting? Do they have body shops they always use or something? This spring I have to get my side repainted for the key incident with the psycho ex-gf and I want the best match/finish available.

I made sure to find a body shop at a nissan dealer. I figured they would be the best at it not because they overcharge on everything but because I hoped they had sprayed my color before. So I called around and found one that had indeed sprayed my color.
