Would you believe the final tally was $3200 in damages off this? hahahaha initial estimate was $2400. Supplement was around $800. My Deductible was $500. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY ********REALLY******** wanted to work something out where I could get the whole car reshot (this is my "restore" project of some sort) but with the nature of other sh*t going on my life right now i just couldn't manage all that right now. I would have had to buy the parts separate, get the body work done, lobby for a supplement, etc. I was going to take it to a custom painter here in san diego who was willing to let me help with the prep/paint work. It would have been an awesome experience since I know almost nothing about paint/body work but like i said, too many other headache's going on right now and I just needed the UrS to get fixed and running again.

The Collision center I went to did an OK job. I might take it back to get a few minor details worked out. as you can see the hood doesn't quite line up. I know how to fix that.... i just feel like being a dick and nagging about something hahahaha. Overall, i'm happy, but would have been happier if i could have afforded time and energy to get the whole car shot. I'd say the Scar went from being a "25 footer" to a "10 footer"... as in it now looks decent from 10 feet instead of 25 =)

I did get a brand spankin new grill on it and lemme tell you nothing beats shinny new chrome surround and fresh black slats around shiny Audi rings. Bling! I'm also glad i got the bumper re-shot as you can see how JANKY it was before =)

Anyways, a few before after pics.

Looks good! My B5 Noggy S4 is going in soon to have the front bumper replaced and resprayed. they said they match paint to the front doors. so that will take care of my damn rock chips.

The great thing is that the other day someone backed into my rear bumper and took off and in the state of Vermont a hit and run goes without a deductable. and they match paint to my rear doors. so I almost get a whole repaint. I'm stoked.

 

YeahI can't believe it was that much, 3200, wow didn't look like it.

camoA6- wish someone would hit me so I could get a new paint like you did, both front and rear are less than perfection...
