i have a hell of a problem. my RS went sliding into a tree this morning and i need some ideas. no actually good places to get the repairs done when the insurance people give me whatever i need to get the car fixed. i need a new front bumper and hood and radiator work and god knows what else. if ANYONE here in colorado, preferably the springs knows were i can go PLEASE let me know. i am going insane waiting to see what happens. all i know is i have full coverage of course and i hope they step to it and get my RS fixed SOON. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/frown.gif i appreciate all info and feedback given. i will probably add more seeing as how i am still not thinking a 100% because my baby (the car) is wounded. i was thinking the same thing davek get the 99 style bumper to take the 98's place but will insurance let me do that? i am shizniting bricks waiting to see how long it will take to get it fixed i had to stay home from work today and tomarrow to see what happens.

Sorry to hear about that, but it sounds like a good time to upgrade to the 99-01 bumper! I lived in the springs for the last 4 years, but had an Eclipse GSX while I was there, so I've got no suggestions for body shops. Good luck http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

Bratmantlz,

A couple of body shops in the Springs that have done good work for me or people that I know:

Wreckmasters - ask for Jim Keeney (owner)

Santa Fe Auto Body - ask for Mike

Good luck getting your car fixed and I would imagine you can get a newer bumper, you might just have to pay any price difference.

Ouch, hope everyone is ok...
