    Parking garage pole jumped out and bit the allroad - pics and advice? :(...

    After driving her all over the country I was careless/in a rush the other day (very few cars in the garage) and swung the nose out the wrong way
    Result
    Some scraping on the plastic and dents and scraped on the driver front qtr panel

    Brought her to local recc'd body shop in SF, Karri's (sp?)

    He said about $450 to pull/finish the dents and repaint
    or around $2200 to replace bumper, wheel flare and qtr and repaint, inlcuding stripping half? the hood to blend in the paint?

    I am very leery to do anything, taking things apart, stripping good paint on hood

    I bought some paint and clear coat and paint cleaner from paintscratch.com

    Was also going to get some turtle wax/buffing type compound to rub off the red paint then touch up

    Dont want the scratches to rust either
    Also don't want some to claim frame damage if and when goto resell (not that I plan on anytime soon)

    Thanks
