So where should I take my car to get fixed....It'll need a new drivers side fender, so maybe I can do the 02+ update?

Venice Collision Experts in Culver City. They did amazing work on my car. Give Raj or Vic a call at 310-202-1555. He is an expert on the 2002 plus upgrade, plus did a amazing job repainting and widen my car.

Hey John,
If you want someone in OC - I'd suggest A-1 Autobody in Huntington Beach. Ask for Wayne - I've been using him for 6 years now, the best bodyshop in OC IMO. I can get you guys setup for an estimate if you want, just let me know...

Now you can justify the other fender as well, make sure the lights are damaged...

I'll back up this recommendation, i've had friends send a few cars to A-1 and they came out great. A little slow; but all body shops are.

Wow are you serious? Geez, talk about bad luck. I would probably just go home and stay there for the rest of the day

On a serious note, I would also recommend A-1. I've used them for like 10 years and they are great. I've also heard good things about Spectrum Collision.
