I bought my car totaled, Don't worry as long as they are a good shop they will get it back to perfect. Mine now has a clean title and looks and drives like showroom floor condition.

ya you got a nice person, this fall someone decided they wanted to backup over my car (4500 in damage) and never left a note.....

your damage looks just a new 1/4 panel hopefully.

Stinks but looks fixable with no problem. Just make sure you head to a body shop who has experience in working on vettes.

I have my "spare" rear fascia on my 01 (I trim'd it to install my track tire trailer hitch frame). Cars were built/panels painted at totally different times at BG, and the paint matches perfect. They must do a good job of quality control at their paint booth(s).

Could have been..........


Dear sir or Madam,
I just reversed into your car and a lot of people saw me do it.

They think I am writing my name, address and insurance details.

They are wrong!

That is a bummer but it is nice to see there are still honest people at there. I'm sure it'll be back better than ever and maybe all that slippery wax cut down on the damage.
