I'm so pissed......looks like my car is done for.........

Here is an update,I'm afraid that my car will never be the same after this. By the way Cecil at Bodystyle is AMAZING! I don't know any other bodyshop that will send me pics step-by-step to show me the extent of the damage & why the work is being done. Here we go;

'Robert,

We pulled the bumper, removed the reinforcement bar, the tail lights, and the mufflers to determine the extent of the damage......

As you can see from the pictures, the frame is bent, and there is buckling inside the trunk and on the driver’s side quarter panel as well as the apparent damage to the driver’s side.'

Has anyone had a similar accident? I loved my car,but this doesn't sound good. Is frame damage that bad?

To top it off,AAA is trying to cut corners(blending panels instead of fully repainting),leaving me paying thousands to get the back to OEM standards....... :troll:
