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....

Ok, so I understand that you say that your insurance rate isn't going to increase because of this incident. So then why wouldn't you want a new headlight assembly instead of getting it buffed out? I mean, after all, this isn't going against you so you might as well get new parts out of it.

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

You crack me up lady. Trolling? Please learn the lingo before using. I'm happy you've owned 10 cars in your lifetime. You deserve a cookie. And since you're into telling me what to do, why don't I offer you something in return, and you can meet me so I can give you a cookie for your 10 cars.

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.

Are you sure you're going to be able to make the meeting? I don't want you spinning out in your S along the way. And I'm not quite sure what kind of kinkiness you're into, but my anal area says "exit only". Thanks but no thanks. But I do appreciate the offer, you are so giving.

You may have owned 10 cars in your lifetime, but I'm quite positive that you didn't learn any driving skills along the way. And please don't be sensitive about this. It's ok. Some people just don't have the ability. That's why we have insurance.

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!

BTW, she's had 10 cars, shouldn't you bring her 10 cookies???
