well, the front fender and door are on (unpainted so they are black),

airbag still hanging down and seats all out still....

exhaust, brakes and rear suspension back on....

i didnt get to talk to the guy cause the dealership is moving to a new location, but the body shop isnt, so he wasnt there...and the shop was closed up but luckily my car was sittin on the outside lift so i glanced at it....

theres still some things im not sure how they are going to fix.....

right infront of the rear wheel, like rim of the wheel well....is bent in a good amount and even ripped in a spot....and thats not like a simple removable panel, thats body; welded in.....how can they fix that???

and where the door pillar is in the middle of the car, the bottom of that is dented in a good 1".....also that is not a simple panel, its body, how do you fix something like that???

and the bottom panel (rocker panel i think), well that is removable but behind it still looks bent in.....you know like kinda where the panel is on the bottom of the door frame inside the car, sometimes it'll say the cars name. like mine says "maxima."

the guy mentioned something to my dad about a machine that pulls the car and removes all the imperfections/dents....well shit those things are pretty deep dents and i just dont see how they can fix it right.....

now the wheel well dent, i looked in the wheel well and it seemed they cut the welds....but i mean the neighborhood of the dent has curves and what not....

i dont know im not a body expert....just seems those dents will be hard to fix IMO and will pretty much **** up the car permanently, not no "i guarantee itll be fixed right" like the guy told my dad....my parents swear itll be perfect when i get it back b/c of the lifetime warranty they give you. maybe its just me but i dont trust it that much.

all that stuff that is damaged that is welded- can be cut out and new panels rewelded... im quite sure that the bodyshop has access to a welder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif also- the machine that pulls the panels out can do wonders with a good technichian behind it! my advise- dont worry- when you get the car back- look over it (very carefully) and drive it- if you notice ANYTHING you dont think is right- take it back IMMEDIATELY

So is your insurance covering it, or the lady's? I don't remember if you were at fault or not.

I would not worry too much, if it's a dealership bodyshop they will probably do their best to make it right. Nothing like pissing a customer off and then losing business to the dealership and such.
