That's too bad. But at least your CF grille and wheel is ok. And the next bumper won't have the bumper plugs.

They dont own the place, she only knows a guy or two that works there. The place is a highly reputable place. My friends went there and car came back perfect.

Since I have matching 8k fogs, I hope they still work. I dont think insurance are gonna cover the fogs are they? I dont know how this works...

lol... we are probably going to get a rental since they are trying to sell all the cars because they are moving back. In the meantime, I can drive the RX and not worry about potholes

Unbelievable Hartawan! It's a good thing that the damage is not too bad and that the girl's insurance will cover the repair. Don't worry, your car will be good as new when you get it fixed! I'm also glad that your wheels and grille are OK. By the way, where did you get that grille??

Hope she gets fixed soon, we need to photoshoot.

I see you have taken it to Marco's for a estimate. Call me, I know a even better place. In Pasadena. Unless you already dropped it off.

Oh no, definitely not the photoshoot I wanted to see from you Tommy... If you need a shop that's REALLY gonna do a stellar job on your car, I can't say enough good things about Longo Collision.

Hehe the one and only one piece cf grille My friend tried mass producing these but the only succesful fitment was the prototype... which he gave to me. Now I dont have my OEM. Keep a lookout at the classfieds next year, it might be up on sale

Ray just told me about your experience at Longo and he also mentioned another shop in Pasadena. So those are my 2 choices.
