Default well..it finally happened... got in an accident

happened tonite... some a**hole parked at a corner decides to come out while i'm making a right turn.. too busy talking on the phone and tries to blame it on me.. i came soo close to caving this guys chest... anyway.. does anyone have an idea on how much a new rear door is? i'm hoping i can just get a new one instead of trying to fix it.. also need the bottom panel that goes on the fender, right next to the door. also, if anyone in NY know a really good body shop.. please let me know... i also have a dent on the front door..

It wouldn't surprise me if a good body shop could straighten that, albeit with a slight amount of body putty to smooth things out.

I want this sticker, "Get off the phone and drive" and he tries to blame it on you .
Good thing it was the door and not the front.

Try to PM Gazi. He can usually get his hands on a lot of things. I think it was him who helped out Angelslex when Angel needed a new rear passenger door for his GS.

well.. insurance is going to cut me a check and i'm gonna look for a body shop.. rear door is getting replaced.. i dont believe in bondo.. insurance offered to fix it at their own shop but i don't want a half *** job so i'll go to one i decide on.. carson toyota quoted me 450 plus 180 shipping for a door... just not sure it if comes complete with the bottom panel and trim..

yes the other party was at fault on the police report.. although i haven't gotten it.. but the cop did let me read it after he wrote it.. anyway.. i hope to get this resolved asap.. hate to see my baby in that condition...
