Default FML - Reason not to ship cars from Hawaii

Just picked up the GOAT today from ATL. It was just how I shipped it except now their is a good size gash in the rear bumper and 3 chips in the windshield and a layer of pollen on the car. Anyone know anybody in the P'cola area that can give me a quote for this. Thanks.

Carrier offered $205 if I took the money right then. Hell you cant replace the windsheild for that price, I have their written statement that the gouges and chips did come from them. I have to get a quote from a company and fax it to them and then they will offer a price, which hopefully will be the full price since the car was in great shape.

Is it a scratch or actual gash? I'm pretty good with a buffer, i'll let you see my black car lol. Sucks man sorry to hear!
Hit me up if you ever wanna get out and do anything...we usually hang out on Sat. nights and go to dinner and sometimes afterward have some "fun"; track on Fri. nights sometimes. Used to be a lot more of a scene, be nice to try and get it back!

Its a gouge in the insert at the bottom, and might be able to buffer out the bumper, I will hit you up later in the week. i would love to get back to the track. The goat hasnt seen a track before.
