bodyshop in baltimore washington area?
I'm in california right now for 5 weeks but just before i left i got in a slight fender bender. it was a three car accident, me being the third when i rear ended a celica in the rain. my car basically went under his bumper and isn't hurt too bad. I've got a few scratches on the nose and the front of the hood is dented a little. I think i'm going to get a top secret style hood anyway so that's not a big deal.
Can someone recommend a body shop to fix up the few scratches and install and paint my hood? Any idea how much it should cost to paint a hood sebring silver? It would be best if it's closer to Baltimore, then maybe i can get my dad to bring it for me and it'll be fixed by the time i even get home. If it's closer to DC that's no big deal either cuz i live in college park so i can just wait till i get home.
Thanks,
Steve

well i'm thinking of buying the sebring ts style hood that "jenner" on this board has for sale. It would cost me $800 shipped and is brand new other than a test fitting. I'm assuming they would at least mount it for me at that shop, no?
Do you guys think 800 is a good price for a painted hood? I don't know how much it costs to paint something like that.

I'd say Rockville Auto Body, but if you're talking about painting a CF TS style hood, they don't do aftermarket-anything.

But I would highly recommend them for any stock work you have

If you want the number for AutoBody images I can PM it to you, and hook you up with the owner. Good guy and straight shooter, he'll tell you everything you need to know.

I sound like a broken record, but here it goes...
For NoVa collission shops here is my list:
Wagonwerks in Arlington, near Potomac Yards. Super expensive, super busy... they do PERFECT WORK and have worked on S's.
NT Auto Body, in Alexandria. Expensive, do very good work, sometimes very busy.
First Choice Auto Body in Arlington. Relatively cheap, but good work. I'd bring a domesic or an "out of pocket repair" there.
Falls Church Auto Body. Slow, sometimes pricey, sometimes difficult to deal with, but always quality work.
Don't know if any of them deal with aftermarket stuff.
If you want to see some nice wrecks, drive by Wagonwerks on Rte1. They only do imports, high-end for the most part. Their lot is full of audis and porsches. NT auto body always has a Lambo in front. They told me it was owned by some dumbass in DC who can't drive worth a SH**, and is always plowing into stuff.
Anyway, best o fluck to all of you who need work done.
