While you're at the body shop, have them clean up them swirls.

my insurance company is paying for all of it to be restored as it was before the collision. so i am gonna go with what they give me. and id go for like a custom one to fix what they didnt fix/make it better. but id say custom would do a better job

I have a RS 2.0 xb nbr 1254. Had my car for three days when I hit a dog (dog is ok broke its leg but is now out of the cast). Did damage to the door by putting in a dent took it to a body shop highly recommended by people in the area they pulled out the dent and painted the door. This is where the nightmare started, wrong tint was used, then turned out to be the protective coating that they had applied. Took three vists to the body shop and with out a car for a total of 6 days. Went to pick up the car on Friday the 13th, finally fixed but, they had rolled over a nail or something and caused me to have a flat tire. Body shop of course said they had nothing to do with the flat tire. Be careful of the sealant that they use the rep. from Dupont said this is a common problem with Scion cars right now.

ouch, join the club. there are far to many accidents these days.

hope you and any passengers who might have been in the care are okay.

make sure the sentra drivers insurance pays for the work, no need for yours to have too. try not to stress too much while it's in the shop. the wait can be excrutiating (i know i spelled that wrong), get a nice loaner/rental and drive the hell out of it.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Ive been in that situation myself, on christmas eve a few years ago. It was a good friend of mine that slammed into the back of my corolla, which caused me to hit the Ford in front of me.
