haha ok guys, yea my friends like to make fun of my "gunmetal" rims, it takes longs to clean this baked on rims up then to wash the body of the car...anyways i got back from the bodyshop with a smile on my face today, only time i'm waiting on is a side marker, but they replaced the hood, the driver side fender, the Chrysler emblem the grill, the from bumper, the driver side headlight, frame straightened, and the lumbar under the hood, and the radiator, and painted both doors that were scratched and had two dings in for $4,300 in total, the original estimate was $5,500, without the doors being fixed of there key marks and dings...after alot of hassling... i was pleased... what surprised me was when they told me my parts costs more then most benz parts, like the hood was nearly $800 bucks without paint...anyways here are some terrible lighting pics...i guess i have to repaint the grill black again...maybe after the paint is fully cured, i'll give it a proper bath...


oh yea forgot to mention, the day i got in the accident, was exactly a year from the date of purchase...what a coincidence...

It looks good.

PS the rims are clean. You know you can get your XF washed for probably $20. Beats paying $4,500 just to get your wheels cleaned.

true, but i have no time being a full time student and having work...i wish i could keep my car clean as a whistle, but as you can see the audi a8 likes to stay dirty tooo...

funniest part, the guy at the shop was like this car is way too fast for me, i would get a speeding ticket in a heartbeat...

haha no english is not my second language, i guess im terrible at multitasking, and trying to type all this in a matter of seconds...sorry for the inconvenience.
