Damage w/ pics: Am I being ripped off?
I have scratches on my roof from highway rocks since last Oct and some scratches on my hood from a shingle that fell off my building and landed right on my car in Dec.

(Only the circled area is where the damage is. The rest of that stuff isn't there, just something that showed up during developing)
Anyway, the body shop wants to charge me $500. He started off at like $775 but then dropped it down. Now to be honest, some of the scratches in both areas are down to the primer, so it has to be painted and can't be buffed out. Even still, I think $500 is a little pricey. What do you think?
Also here's a pic of my Inspyres that I bought off Qatar. I think they look really good with the Acura emblem on them.
