Yes, when using the guide book it allots them an amount of time for teardown, repair and reassemble. Most shops use this to make extra money. (not bloody likely it will take 4.7 hours to fix that!)
However the paint info looks right, it includes prep sanding, base coat, clear and all drying times. Plus they will most likely paint the entire bumper.
If you are willing to drive a little, Pohanka in Fredericksburg does a great job and they have experience with the S2000... Im thinking Skip knows some folks there as well.

D&V gave it a look yesterday morning...black S2000 in their lot btw...
No need to replace the headlamp assembly, repair complete in 2-3 days depending on weather = $585.78
I guess a little pricey but I felt very comfortable with Ron because he took me back outside and explained everything that would be done and why.
My insurance seems quite happy with the quote too.

So if you deduct the amount of the headlight assembly that Rosenthal gave you, it's about the same as D&V. Also, you went through insurance for $585.78? Interesting....

What a PITA...
I have the OPTION of going through insurance...what is it for anyway if you don't use it? If my insurance rates do not increase because of this incident, why WOULDN'T I use them?

Oh, and if you're calling me a "PITA" then "Thanks!" I'm always happy to oblige. Hi Buddy!

Gee, you know you might be right. After all, the S2K is only the 10th automobile that I've owned, I must still not know how to take appropriate care of them! Amazing that I've made it almost 37 years without your advice!
Tell you what: why don't you meet me at D&V Auto Body on Monday morning at 8:00 am when I drop the car off? I'm sure Ron will be most happy to repeat the entire evaluation of my car just for you.
If not, since you did not offer any body shop suggestions as was requested in my original post, why don't you go trolling some other thread? I'm bored with this.

As for your car, I could care less what you do to it. But if you want to post in an online forum, do understand you will get reponses. Some reponses you will like, some of them you won't. If you don't like my reponses there is an ignore button at the bottom. Please use it.

Thanks for your concern, I know its genuine. Spinning out is easy when you're lightweight like me and enjoy pushing your car to its limits...and sometimes beyond. (I get the feeling neither is as easy to do in your car due to a heavy uneven load.)
But hey, if I should happen to spin out and do damage along the way, it will be because I was too busy lmao thinking about you wedged inside that little cabin...but at least I'll be heading to the right place!

And I love how you're referencing to my weight. I would have to agree with you on some points. I wouldn't want you to be the same weight as I. That would be scary in a female.

I decided to delete my posts because they had nothing positive to offer this thread, they were merely childish jabs and I have more important things to do than to lower myself to that level.
Back on topic, my roommate spun her Honda Prelude on black ice near our neighborhood early Friday morning and sustained left front suspension damage. She has asked for my help in finding a local shop that can do the repair and corresponding alignment.
Please post or PM any recommendations. Thanks in advance!
