Dude, take it to Auto Graphicks on Bonney Road in Virginia Beach. They are pretty expensive, but since insurance is covering, that's not a problem. They do good, quality work that will last years and years beyond what most of the body shops in Tidewaters work will. Don't believe me? Give them a call at 431-0605. They have a bunch of photo albums of cars they've done in the past and can give you an estimate.

Sponger, Let me know what Phillips says and how their work is. As of today, I have to have some paint work done to my rear bumper. A guy "hit the gas, not the break" when I was in stop and go traffic. Hopefully thats all it needs.

Thanks man. I'm pissed at this point, I was just outside scoping out the damage and theres a crack in the bumper, who knows whats damaged underneath.

vasponger

Thanks for the info. I'll give them a call to see when they can take a look at the Prelude. I still can't believe I even have to deal with this.

Just a heads up, I have not heard good things about the Checkerd Flag body shop from several people.
