My new Challenger has a boo boo

[Road Dog]

Sorry to see that. Just cars though. Can be fixed.

Going over the itemized bill it was $2,500 is parts and material, $1,800 in labor and $500 in tax.

They literally replaced the whole front end of the car short of the spoiler and fog lights.
The grill alone was $700

The car looks good but there is one item I not too sure about.

I may take a picture and post it and have one of the Challenger owners here check it out for me.
Its a very small issue.

Unreal, I cannot believe how the cost of bodywork has skyrocketed.  I did bodywork for near 20 years and for that amount you got a lot of work done.  I was shocked when I heard that hourly wages for mechanics were nearing $100.  I have an Accord with a dent in the front fender and scrapes on the bumper, I went in for an estimate and was quoted $1200, I laughed cuase I though he was joking, he wasn't....

I took the dent out myself, fixed the bumper and put it all in primer ready to sand, mask and paint and they still quoted me $600.....effin insane.  I'll paint the damn thing myself.

There shouldn't be any issues after repair.  I'll gladly take a look at it when you post pics.

Ok here are some pics and my question

Are these air vents for the headlights or is the molding supose to seal the hood all the way across.

Two more

Mine looks the same as yours.

Thanks for looking, I feel a lot better about it now.

I'm thinking its a air relief for the head lights.
High speed, Low drag.

I hate people like that, thank God there wasn't a mother and kids in the lot. If you have any event or sneeze or whatever you get on the brakes. Just stupid.

Question for you Road Dog

What year is your Challenger?

[chrisII]

My 2000 van that i use to haul my PA and lighting got smoked 2 weeks ago. parked on a straight flat wide street in front of my house. shoved the fully loaded maxi high top wheel chair van 3 feet...she blacked out..not sure what i think of that, But I made a killing on it! so im not so mad lol.
   sorry to see your Chally got hit, but Im happy its all fixed

[Bobs69]

Maybe I should put a bandaid on it.

The funny part is I was not able to find the headlight souround. It vanished. I looked in the bumper, around the headlight and around the car in the parking light and its just gone.  Not even a single piece of it. It goes around the headlight on the outside of the grill and pops out not in.

Do you think she took it as a trophy?

OF COURSE SHE DID!

...  its not like she's making shit up like "ur car just appeared" or something... 

my favourite one was "an invisible car appeared out of nowhere, hit me, then disappeared"

[ChgrSteve67]

My favorite one was a guy in a toyota truck that ran into a house that was being moved down the middle of the street told the police that he didn't see it.
