So I got bumped waiting at a stop light.

Last week I got bumped in the rear waiting for a stop light.
Kid was 17 and just got his license. Only damage was paint on the rear bumper cracked and chipped in a few placesThe cars getting droped off in the morning to get fixed up.
]I had a chip on my trunk from the system and I talked the guy into redoning the trunk too. But my wing is also cracked from the system. So my question is to everyone should I have him fill the holes where the wing goes or just leave the holes so that I can put a wing on another day or till I have money to fix the one I have.
What would help is if anyone has any pics of a cl with a shaved trunk and no wing.
If you can post a pic/pics it would be very helpful in my decision,and keep in mind the car will be getting droped off in the morning.Any SSM's would be the best.Thanks

^Looks sweet

Just got back from droping the car off.Riding the PHAT kia rondo.Definitly a poor substitute for the cl,but it does ride smooth.
Any way the shop wants a extra $100 to weld up the holes.I dont have the extra right now since I just bought 2 subs and payed for the wife to take a limo for her birthday on the 25th. I already spent a extra $1,000 this month on nonsense.But I'm trying to get the money up some how...Just dont want to put it on a card.He said I probally have till tommorrow to deceide. we'll see

Man that sucks I get uneasy as hell when I'm in rush hour traffic. Lots of congestion, the guy in front of me stomps the brakes abruptly, so I quick hit the brakes, and I get nervous the guy tailing me isn't gonna be watchful and is gonna bash into me. Swear I'd go apeshit if I even got a nudge in my rear bumper, haha...

Car should be ready tommorrow,I hope he does a good job matching my flakes and he wet sands and buffs the car like the rest. I gave him my flakes so they will be the exact flakes atleast. From what I understand he takes pride in his work.We'll see.I'll at least post a pic of the work.

You've definitely got yourself a keeper. Haha that's awesome that your girl did that despite the cost of it all, I can imagine it was probably a little fun to watch at least, right?

It definitly was a bad mistake thats for sure.But I think everything is going to be allright.We paid all our stuff up till november. I was actually horrified at the whole deal, when we met 4+ years ago she she use to fight everyday.we both came to bum f@#$ NC with only cothes in suit cases.Since we are on our second house have multiple cars everything thats needed in a family.Ive seen it but did not expect it.I left her and her friends at the house for 2hrs to get a sitter for my son while we went out,mind you this is the second time that we got to go out without my son since he was born.She already has a new job she just dont want to go till the black eye goes away.I got about 10 aps today and 10 yesterday.We got plenty of credit and people willing to give us money,so I guess no spending no dough till everything gets smothed out.

Anyways got the car back today am I'm not happy.The owner was not there.The lower half of the bumper was not wet sanded or buffed so it feels rough.When they took off my wing to do the trunk they cut the brake light wires,What the f@#! they have conectors.They put the wing across my back seat and put dents in the rear compartment.My radio was showing a Err2 code and did not work at all till I disconted the battery.There is feet prints on the passenger floor like they were cruising my car around.Radio, I fixed,wing, I'll reconect the wire,but these fools better finish the body work. I'm kinda not the happiest guy right now and could definitly find myself getting into some shiz,just because of the hard times.keep my fingers cross I dont really need no more setbacks at the moment

#1, dont do anything stupid.

#2, I hate when body shops try to pass off sub-par work (and sadly thats most of them).

Good advise civic, So I showed up at the shop the next day and the first thing he said to me is that he thinks his workers sent the car out not finished.So I said thats what I thought.With no additude I explained all issues and he said leave the car and they will all be corrected.I did,and he produced a excellent job completely done.He also said if there was any damages he would take care of them.To me thats a good guy.He had a new guy do the stripping of the car and he said he dont think he's going to work out.So I told him dont worry about it I'll put some but connectors and it will be fine.Beside I dont want to be the reason someone loses they're job.He did'nt even ask me to pay the $50 collison dectuctable.Cant beat that.
The wife is at a waitress job training right now,so some money will be come in the house soon.She got the car so I put a snap of the bumper and trunk tomorrow. This turned into a rambling thred,but I dont mind sharing lifes downfalls.

I had 0 dollar deductible 50 collision and 3000 extra covrage. Car was already fixed a couple of weeks ago and I didnt even pay the 50 collission money.

What money are they trying to send me ??????
