Default need a body shop. Queens preferred

so im driving down 2nd ave when this guy tries to pull out of his parking spot into moving traffic. the pickup truck in front of me slams on the brakes. i panic braked [read: buried the brakes and ABS kicked in] and ever so gently tapped his trailer bar. if i hit a regular car with a bumper, i know there wouldnt have been any damage. but i guess im not that lucky.

i've thought about buying a used hood and getting it painted or just getting mine repaired. can anyone recommend a good place?



nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Honestly, I would just buy a new hood. Doesn't really look like it's fixable to me. However, that's just me.
