Thanks Alen!

Tell me about it.. I was told that I would get a new estimate yesterday but when I called them this morning, no one picked up.. I guess the agent won't be in the office until Tuesday! Wtf?! How can they leave in a time like this!? My car looks all beat up..

Hi DC, i just drop off my car at collision to fox and install the front lip. I also watched your car the red bmw with black wheels and m3 front bumper. What did you just hit? It look worse than your photo, in my opinion. So sad to see that. I hope he can fix your car fast so you can drive it Again. Hope they finish my car before tuesday. And one more, andrew is so nice to the customers. Thank you for your recommendation for this shop.

Haha yeah I dropped it off this morning. The first check that the insurance sent got lost in transit so they sent me another one. Finally after 3 weeks, my car goes in for repairs. I hit some kind of wooden box, not really sure but it was pretty big.

Did you drop your car off today too? My car will be ready by Tuesday. I'm getting other stuff done as well like fixing some dents. Yeah Andrew is a cool, laid back guy. I got all my all my parts painted and installed there.

Hope we both get our cars back soon! The rental they gave me sucks lol..

yeah I drop off my car today. he said that my car will probably finish on tuesday but let see if he can do faster before tuesday. you hit that on the freeway, why did not that box just hit somebody before you so you could not hit that
your car still looks good tough

Hahaha yeah. Thank you for the compliment! But I still need to get another lip until I can call it quits.

Maybe I'll see you there Tuesday.

hello DC, you picked your car already? I picked up mine at noon and saw your car at the parking lot already. it is done and your car looks better now . however, I am little bit satisfied with their work but there are some spots that have dust under it and when i asked him, he just said there nothing he can do, he tried his best to look good. it is a lot better than body shop i went before. Andrew did a great job, the way he responds to me is so nice. how can I remove the dust under the clear coat then? he does not want to do it since the car still has new paint so need to be careful for couple days.

Thanks! Yeah it was finished yesterday but I couldn't make it because of work. I picked it up today around 4. Mine looked pretty flawless. Andrew told me he had them cut and polish my car so I'm very thankful for the extra work. Anyway I would use a clay bar and see if takes off the dust.

Btw what happen to your car? Why was it in the shop? I came late so I couldn't see you ride.

Hahahahi okay, there were much dust in the clear coat of the front bumper so i asked andrew if he could do it for me or not but he could. I bought 3d front lip before so decided to get it panited and install it while they were fixing the front bumper. I can give you a picture of it tomorrow, so dark today i cannot take a picture. Yeahh i think i am going to ask another detailing shop how they can fix that "think" since its under the clear coat as i believe.

I haven't decided yet because I'm waiting on that company to release a pic or something as well. But I can't stand my front end without a lip. I'm thinking about getting a cheap Kerscher lip until then? I still like the V style but don't want to spend $300+ just yet.
