Angry Damage estimate- $803, Pics of dents

Well...got my estimate today. Truck is going in the body shop Monday. I also have to get it to a muffler shop to fix an exhaust leak when it comes out of the body shop. They're going to paint my top bumper pad...unless I decide to do the SS bumper cover. Anyway...on to the pics.

Door and lower panel dent


Underbody dent


Gap where the door is bent


Bumper slightly bent and bumper cap broke.(kinda hard to see)


Overall, the damage is slight considering the speed and wreck. I've ordered a tahoe grille and chrome speed grille inserts for the front. The body shop owner is getting in touch with a reputable powdercoater for me so I can get my Boyds powdercoated. It is going in the shop Monday, so I don't have to look at those f-ing dents or hear that wind noise anymore!!!

Considering the way you described the accident it looks like you came out pretty good.

I hold BigTex responsible, make him pay for it.

Well the damage sucks but it could have been much worse. Good luck getting it all back in shape.

Thanks, man. It's going to look as good as new when I'm done with it. They're going to buff out the entire truck and promised me there won't be a scratch on it. I'm still trying to decide on either powdercoating my wheels or getting a fresh set of 20s and using the boyds for winter/track wheels. Decisions...decisions....
