Default My new GS convetible got hit lats night!!

2 weeks ago i purchsed a brand new 2011 crystal red GS conv. I love it and haven't had tome to post pics.

Last night I was talking to buddy of mine in the parking lot about my new vette when this blonde chick in Jeep Wrangler proeeds to back into and on my brand new vette. The front panal is all scratched all the way through the light. I have no idea if there is anything damaged under the panel.

Any one know a good body shop for vettes near plainfield, il??

Sux..Hope you get it fixed to your satisfaction, dont settle for less than perfect, and dont forget to sue for diminished value if it turns out to be a big repair.

There is a place just outside of Chicago that does great body work and for Corvette's only. It is either Corvette City, or Corvette Mike, I beleive it is Corvette Mike.

My dad had a 2000 convertible that had pretty bad front end damage that he had repaired there, and you would have never known anything happened. He originally had it fixed by a body shop that didn't do the work properly and this guy was able to straighten everything out and promised it to look as good as new.

I'd somehow find it in my heart to forgive the blonde in your avatar.
