66 hit - update

i finally got an estimate for the damage caused by the careless guy in the KIA behind me... (most body shops i called wouldnt touch it!) Looks like the rear inner fenderwells and bumper mounts are ok (thank goodness).

$882 for parts, labor and paintwork. of course i will need a rental car while its in the shop.

The guy took all the info for the parts I tracked down, which include overriders, towel racks, upper supports, bumper brackets, reinforcement plates, added what it would cost for labor and repairing and respraying the decklid and fenders.

Of course I tracked down the best parts I could find... i would have gotten an original OEM bumper if i could get one, but the $399.00 triple plated one will do - I think... : )

sound about right for the damage caused?
