Picked up the car on Wed. Body Shop pestered evyone possible for bumper and a color matched IMB unit was flown in from Detroit. Can't say enough about the guys at Alexander in Franklin, TN, esp. Terry Boyd.
Now State Farm on the other hand....
They weren't going to pay for the rental any longer, and told Terry to refit teh damaged bumper cover, re-spray the fenders and hood and I was supposed to drive it like that until the parts came in....
...which could be up to six months!
Then they'd pay the shop to re-strip the fenders and hood and paint the whole lot.
I asked Terry to get the cost of the '05 AutoCross body kit as this had to be less than a double paint job, and besides I didn't fancy driving the car in that state.
But she's fixed now and safely in the garage.
