I have to take the car at 11:00 to the All State location (the other guy got ticketed and it's his insurance co.) to get an estimated of damages.
Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let the insurance company know that it's extremly hard color match PPW and see if you can get a whole new paint job

Sorry to hear about your car Juan!!! Glad you're ok though.

Along with Priscilla's recommendation, I say DO NOT go to Sterling Auto Body. When our Element got keyed we went there because they have an AllState adjuster who works with them, and they absolutely suck. They put the door panel on without properly lining up the locks, painted the one of the wheel wells a different color from the other three, and left horrible swirl marks in the clear coat. We are still fighting with them and AllState to get everything taken care of. I'm just glad it wasn't my Z!!!

Default Audi system installs

Me and a buddy are going to help out the Z community a little after going through the hell of people trying 2 charge me insane amounts of money to install an audio system in my z. we have done 6 Zs already, all run flawlessly and no problems. we dont do any custom fiberglass work sorry. if you need a system installed, priced out, and setup correctly with correct tuning we can do it for a MUCH cheaper price then any sound installer store. i personally guarantee the work and if your not satisfied we will refund the money without a problem. For the record the price quote to do my 1 amp 1 sub install without already having a box was close to $400 for under the strut bar installation. we ended up spending $125 on everything for the install in my car. PM me for any details you need or for pricing. if you need pics you gotta email me @ nikfd3s@aim.com because i dont know how 2 post pics on here haha. Thx for every1s time

~Nick

Thanks Manny... it was the first thing I said to them but the guy said they would blend it in so it was not necessary to paint the whole car. They will replace the outside panel on the door and the quarter panel and fix the skirt.

Sorry to hear. Looks like you were in a Nascar race. Doesn't look like to much body work though and if the wheel isn't damaged then you should be real happy. Good luck on the repairs

Thanks everybody!!

Sterling is the place where they sent me to get the estimate but they said I can choose my own. Right now I just need to know of a good bodyshop where to take the car to get it fixed. I know good painters but I need a bodyshop because All State will not write the check to me.

HELP!!!!!

I'm in the same boat as you too, Juan. I got sideswipped yesterday while driving to work. Guy didn't event look both ways at the stop sign when leaving his place, he just went. Next thing i know, I look to my left and see a car coming at me and BAM. Side of door and aft panel damaged. Game over.

I'm looking for a good body shop to go to as well. They're (opponent's insurance) sending me to Courtesy Collision center on colonial to gauge the damages on my car. Chuck, Sean, is all fleet services still there off of distribution court?

i could recommend my guy to take the car to if you want good work done on your car, however he takes a while. But if you want to see his work it is several magazines.

I should have my car back on friday! YEAHHHHHHHH! I wont have the interior pieces yet though, that is going to take a bit longer, not sure how long, we will discuss that on friday.
