Thx. The crappy part is, it had to be one of my neighbors. I walked around the parking lot, and almost everyone has damage to there bumpers, so its pretty much impossible for me to figure out who did it. I am looking into storage as we speak.

i know it sucks dude, a snow plow backed into my new E Class Mercedes when we had all that snow. bent the trunk lid heavily and pushed the bumper so it doesnt sit flush.

I am taking it to DV autobody in Chantilly once they get the new parts in.

I heard they were pretty good from some reviews here and there.

I had mine less then a week and i got hit here in Leesburg. Somebody backed into me. They left a note through. It was a local attorney's wife that hit it. I took it to my buddy up at Craftsman Auto Body. The Attorney paid cash. Everything couldnt have went better.

But i was lucky. People now days dont give a s*&t about others things.
Its really to bad.

Sorry to hear, hope you'll get it fixed up in no time.
Somehow I noticed that first couple of month of owning the car are the most critical in terms of getting the car messed up...either by you or someone else.....
Did anyone else noticed that trend?
I had never driven RWD before when I got mine and after hearing all the rave reviews about the S's handling I was taking turns super fast and kept feeling the rear end threatening to go out. Luckily I found out without slamming into something.

Yeah, their facility looks really nice. But are they expensive? They quoted me $600 or 700 to paint and install front fenders and $950 to do a front bumper and the fenders. Does that seem high? I've never had any work done before.
