So I went to a local dealer, and they told me for 1400 back in October they'll straighten out my frame, pull the dents out and get a new bumper. Today I went back and they said for 1,200 they'll fix all that, including any other big dents around the car (front fender, maybe some other one) and my cracked corner light. I'm thinking of taking it tomorrow morning and getting it fixed. Does anyone know any cheaper places maybe? I'm looking to get this done before the meet..

The rear end twisted, the impact actually put a dent on the driver's side rear quarter too. The bumper actually is closed, it meeting with the body. Let me know what you guys think. Everywhere else said like 2500-4000 =/
Oh ya, btw the car is no longer on the spare/oems. thanks jeff!

I was recommended Boyce Body Werks by Mike here on CL. My car is currently there right now getting fixed with much more significant damage than yours. They have been very prompt and informative when it comes to repairs so far... I will let you know how the car turns out on Monday or Tuesday...

I was turning into Mcdonalds across traffic, 2 lanes were backed up and last lane was stopped about 2 cars ahead, i creeped up a bit, saw a civic pretty far back (half a block/block away) so i went to pull in. She didn't bother slowing down at all and as a matter of fact turned into me. How else can her DRIVER side get annihilated but not her passenger? Well, police came, decided I was 100% at fault for "failure to yield". So ya, I have to pay out of pocket, which is rough since I'm only 17 too.. They do pretty good work, I'm not going to lie. My dad's old van got practically run over and murdered whole rear end and they fixed it perfect. A little paint imperfection on matching, but nonetheless perfect. The corner light is getting fixed for free, and on ebay they're like 20-30 bucks.. The car is there now as we speak and I'll let you guys know when I get it =]
