Default So some kid hit my car today....

I get to school and have to park. I get into a space next to a curb with room in front of me. A car pulls in front of me and backs right into my 1 week old front bumper. So what I'm asking is, does anyone in Phoenix know a really good body shop?

Well, It cracked the paint on the front nose right at the tip and followed right above the grill and all the way back. I'll post a pic up later. I'll check Tracy's out, thanks.

Well an update on my poor camaro. It's gotta be in the shop the entire weekend and have all the paint stripped off the bumper. This is turning out to be a nightmare. Never even let anyone park close to your front end.

This was the first day but then next when I took it on the freeway the paint just chipped off. It cracked all the way under the grill. Sorry for the shitty camera phone pics.

It got alot worse the day after. It started to bubble by the nose and peel more. The guy at the body shop said they took an air hose to it and it ripped up about 1/4 of the nose paint. It will all be fixed soon
