Got sideswiped today :( Well today this dumbass bitch switched lanes into me without looking 
and here are the pics
Do you guys think this is easily repairable? How long do you think my car would need to be in a shop for? Her insurance is paying for everything
I need the door repainted and the dent from the rear quarter panel removed.

it might be.. i would assume a new door is needed. I'm not sure SMC is repairable but i'm probably wrong. I wouldn't worry too much about it if her insurance is paying for it. To answer your second question: i would say no more than 2 or 3 days if they can repair it and they take their time.

dude that blows! specially since its a little dent in the rear quarter panel... they still have to cut and weld everything...
It will definitely be in for more than 3 days. I have damage to my rear qtr panel too and its will be in there for a week +
wont be cheap tho.. but who cares, ur not paying

no big deal having a V6. I had a '00 V6 Camaro for a few years during my senior year and a couple after high school. Good lookin' car the way i had it and it turned heads
Good luck with the fix. They can fix that rear 1/4 without much work but it'll have to be painted. and then if the paint doesn't match they'll have to paint into the front 1/4 too to blend.
My V6 VVV just to show there is nothing wrong with a 3800.

That v6 camaro is very sexy. Was that door repainted or is it just the camera? I really hope that doesnt happen to me if that was infact repainted
U still got it or did u get rid of it for the El Es Juan? Last edited by tmc2k1; 03-16-2007 at 05:29 PM.

the car was wrecked when i got it. Crushed BOTH back 1/4's and the passenger's door was trashed. to yeahs it's been painted You could only tell it was painted in the right angle and light. The drivers side, only the rear 1/4 was painted. The front bumper was also painted as somebody keyed it but you can't tell because of the angle. Metallic paint is hard to paint. Red can be too but you will probably have better luck then i did. When i bought it in '02 it was only 2 years old and had 22k miles. I sold it in LATE '04 with 50k and a salvage title and got $7,800 for it i thought it was a good deal. The kid that bought it still has it and LOVES it. I bought an LT1(kinda stepped back, years wise) but i LOVE my V8. If you get the car back from paint and it doesn't match right just tell them and have them blend into the front fender. you won't even be able to tell it was wrecked. trust me. They SHOULD blend anyway if they know better. I should have done that to my V6 but i just never got around to getting it done. Anyway, good luck with the fix. ~cole~

the sadder part is when I bought it i paid $2,200 for it Brought it back from the dead(my dad does body work so he helped) and had like $4,500 in it total including purchase price. When we painted it the paint matched PERFECT indoors. i mean you couldn't tell it at all then when it went outside you could see it The other funny thing is, the day i was gonna make it NOT for sale the lady was standing in the driveway by it. She looked at it, drove it, and was VERY impressed by how clean it was. I BABIED that thing. They came back the next day with a check. Their son had JUST totalled a 99 V6 Mustang and liked the Camaro WAY better. His older brother had a LS1 T/A and said he was surprised by how quick the 6 was. I hit a best of 14.1 with it. I had stock 3.42's, hypertech, Dynomax catback, intake. factory freak is what that thing was.

I think the 93-97 camaro's are a little sexier than the 98-02's
And that hood looks GREAT on your car
