Sorry to hear about your accident. The other guy had no insurance? What did the poilce do about that? Anything?
Give M1 Autosports a call, they do amazing bodywork from what I've seen. Look in the vendor section, they are one of our sponsors.

my insurance still have to prove that the other party in fact does not have insurance, so they are still waiting on police report

So the uninsured motorist has no DMV penalty for driving without insurance? Sad.

First and foremost, I'm sorry to hear about your car.

Second, my family has had excellent service from Dorothy Lunney of Lexus of Cerritos. She is a Service Manager, and has taken care of my sister's GS300 (someone scratched her car from hood to bumper), my brother's ES350 (windshield replacement), and my best friend's IS300 (huge rear bumper dent fix and repaint). All were fixed quickly and flawlessly.

Tell her Philip Cordova sent you...

That really hurts. My 450h got rear ended sunday night by an illegal citizen with no drivers license but at least he had insurance. The first boo boo really hurts! But I feel really sorry for him to because they impounded his car...

Sorry an idiot w/ no insurance hit your beautiful Lexus. It's people like that w/ no insurance that drive up the cost of coverage for us good paying citizens.

I hope your car gets fixed ASAP!

From what I understood of his spanish they took away his drivers license. And I think the reason he has insurance is because it is required to buy a car...

Insurance companies don't care. Money is money.
