Talked to the shop!
Tell them what happened to your car and that you had to get it towed. If they did the job right in the first place, it wouldn't have happened to you at all. They should be responsible for all the damages incurred as a result of their mistake and you won't get what you want unless you're assertive.
Of course you have to ask yourself how you were driving and if there was any possibility you could have been a partial cause to the issue. If not, it seems the shop is at fault, despite how nice they were. It also doesn't help their case if they stated that they were trying to get out of there as soon as possible.
Good luck in whatever you do.

So I called the shop and the owner said he will cover all the costs, thank goodness.
He told me to just go to any shop here. Where is a good shop that will make a good repair and at the same time, not so pricey? Guy was being real and honest, which is really rare these days... Seemed like a really nice person. I really respect the guy and isn't trying to rape him or anything. All i want is for my car to look the same as when it came out of the shop, nothing more.
I might need a new front bumper/fender/rotor/studs/new volk te37 wheel/lug nuts/fenderliner/.. This is all I can see right now, don't know what other damages are done.
Any good recommendations would be appreciated, thanks a lot guys, once again.

haha, thnks pops! how's the evo??
If he backs out, a lawyer will be hired. I have all the receipts so there is no way he can get away, but this is when this negotiation that we have fails. so far, he's been cooperative and everything is going smooth.

they replaced terrance howard because he was asking for too much money and they weren't happy with his performace in the 1st movie. He actually got paid more than anyone for iron man 1. Yes, he even got paid more than RDjr. He was demanding a bigger role in #2 and marvel cut his offer by a lot. Terrance Howard wouldn't take the pay cut and wanted to be paid top dollar again so marvel told him to get bent. Don Cheadle > his ass anyways.
I thought you sackrode iron man, I don't even know much about it but you should know all this shit
