Default Car begins body work today...For those who don't know

car was rear ended by some a*s going 30 mph on 36 about a week ago. I was completely stopped. Bent the frame, buckled rear quarters, demolished trunk lid, etc. Took the oppurtunity to make some minor adjustments. SVE will be installing an oem rear rs4 bumper, custom molding rear fenders to match up to rear bumper, removing all door moldings and re-filling. Should look pretty good. I've got the A! Avantgarde sides, when moldings are removed should give a real aggresive step up. Can't wait. Two months with out the car will be the hard part.

Your frame was bent...and the insurance company didn't "total" it? Usually they respond with a check when they hear those words.

Nope, not totaled...everyone seems to think it'll be fine after the frame rack.

I agree. Doesn't hurt to get another opinion on it. Good luck!

Default If Butch at SVE says he thinks it will be fine...

I'd feel pretty confident that it will be just as he says. Granted... A second or third opinion never hurts, though in this case I wouldn't be too worried. The SVE guys know their biz, no doubt.
