Default Well, the unthinkable happened

My mother backed into my suzuka blue s2000 in the driveway this afternoon. I drove it around and I don't think there's any affects on the handling and driving of the car. However, the left rear end bumper is popped out, scraped, and just above the line where it turns into metal there is a small dent with paint taken out. I suppose I'm looking at a new bumper and the dent being taken out/painted. Does anyone recommend any shops around the Raleigh/Triangle area of NC? I want the work to be perfect and the paint to match and all that.

Thanks guys.

Damn that sucks. Post some pics to get some opinions on the damage estimate.

While you're at it, include your entire family. Get the grandparents out too. Make it a family event.

Remember to include pets too, they're always family as well.

You should ask in the local forum, but I think Apex Autobody is a good destination.

Bummer about your car. Stuff happens. That's why we are required to have insurance.
