glad you got hooked up my dude...
everyone makes mistakes and sometimes out of your control... Glad it will work out.. dont think you should waste your money on an attorney to be honest... but do go to court and contest those false accusations... Good luck..and be safe out there...

So, I decided to get my car fixed by the bodyshop.
They initially quoted me over 10k, but if I paid cash they would do it for 5k.
That includes: all new body panels, straightening the frame, new headlights, new tail light, and suspension components as well as radiator, etc.
They're also painting the whole car. I'm leaning towards a matte black or white, I haven't decided yet...(what color do you guys think?)
As far as the tickets go, I still haven't decided whether to hire an attorney or not, but the court date is in August so I have some time to speak to
attorneys and get their opinions as well.
I'll post pics as soon as the it's done. I can't wait!
Thanks for everyone's suggestions and recommendations, I appreciate it very much. Stay tuned for pics.

flag on this. No way a legit shop will fix all this damage for 5k. You will pay more than that when its all said and done.

I guess cash really is king
They must be getting a killer deal on the body parts, two new headlights and a new tail light are close to $1k, a quarter panel reskin and paint is usually $2k. As for recommendations, if you like the exterior of the AP2 better, now would be the time to do the conversion since you need new bumper covers and head lights anyway. As for paint, unless they do the engine bay and door sills, which is a bit unlikely for such a low price, i think id keep it the same color it already is.
