Not to be a dick, but a good/perfect and cheap job doesnt exist. With a new fender, door skin, rocker, and all the necessary blending so it matches, it could be a good 2 grand easy. Im an adjuster, so I see this stuff all day long. A good shop in Palmdale is Telesis Collision off Rancho Vista, not far from 8th street east. Geoff is the guy to see there, they work on muscle cars quite often.

Sorry it happened to your bird, im in a similar situation with the dealership ******* up my gto.

sweet! but i heard rancho c. is pretty far. how far from lancaster exactly? i might be willing to travel the distance to get the great work/price done but i dont know about the travel for the estimate. thanks though! will definitely keep that in options. btw how much do you think those guys would charge me? just give me a ballpark price if possible. thanks

depends whether you're buying the parts or them?? Its about an hour fifteen away from lancaster. Call them up ask for dennis and see if he can give you a ball park of how much you'd be in for. Are you getting a new door and quarter panel? Seriously these guys do great work and their prices beat most other shops. Sent a few guys to them no complaints!

oh yea not a good idea on the insurance fraud and they always ask you to bring your car in if you want to upgrade to full coverage.
