I knew it was a bad day from the morning....

My car was parked in a plaza and some girl backed into my car. The back bumper is crushed in and my rear panel is smashed. I have no pictures yet but can someone advise on where I should take my car for repair? Keep in mind my color is original RSP. Is it best to take it to a body shop or the Lexus Dealer? Getting the paint to match the original color is my main concern.

I know the damage isnt too bad for some of you guys, but I baby this car. She's my pride and joy. I've worked so hard to buy her.

 

OOOO NOOOOOOOO. AWW, dangit, that sucks so much. Such a beautiful car, doesnt deserve this kinda pain.

Did you get the info of the girl who hit you?

GL with getting everything taken care of.

 

I'd suggest you checkout the California forum -- there are some incredible autobody shops in CA and you shouldn't settle for anything less. Especially since you have such a rare color.

Good luck!

 

Longo Lexus's body shop should give you the most expensive estimate, so you should bring it there.

 

Sorry to hear about your misfortune sweetie. Good luck with finding a place to get your car fixed.

 

Yeah I have all her info, she looks like she is still in hs.....I think I scared her cuz when I saw the damage I yelled and cursed and kind of went a lil ape****. I'm gonna take my car to the lexus dealer tomorrow and get a quote. I just want to make sure the new paint job will look like the original RSP.

BTw.. the car that hit me only had a paint scratch the size of a quarter.

 

=((( poor Aries hope you get her up and runnin soon!!!

 

oh say it aint so.. im sorry erica... hope it all goes ok sooon!

 

I would also feel pretty bad.

Too bad you are not down here. My uncle could bang that thing back into place and get it painted really nice in under a week.

 

That totally sucks....Sorry to hear

 

The RSP an original factory color though, So I'm positive you should be able to get the original color match no problem straight from Lexus. Or just get the color code and give it to an autobody shop and they will match it.

 

Aries: Damn Girl, Give me a Call, I have a Shop that would have no problem doing it.

I'll PM you my Cell.

~B~

 

That really sucks. Good luck getting it fixed.

 

Damn that really suck. I hope you got things taken care of soon. GL

 

The quarter panel isnt that bad. You will need a new rear bumper. I know just the shop that can match your paint. These guys specialize in BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, and especially Porche. If you want more info you can PM me. They are located in San Jose.

Im sorry to hear about your hit. I just got into an accident with my SC. My car wasnt so lucky. Details later..
