Any ideas on how best to fix this? scrape pic (http://photos.yahoo.com/wrxpics) (look in the crunch directory)

It was done by a friend as we pulled out of her driveway. I saw the whole thing:eek:. The front panel and BOTH doors got hit. It's too painful to bear....

Anyway, I need it done cheaply (to save my friend $$) but professionally (to save my resale $$). I'll claim off my insurance if I have to, but if anyone in the central Jersey area knows of a good body shop, I'd appreciate the recommendations. My guess is $1k seeing that 3 panels are affected.

Also, I was thinking of taping it up to keep the rain out until I can get it to the shop. Good idea or bad idea?

First slap your friend! It helps with the pain. Thats actually not too bad, hope you get it fixed soon!

Well, there's a guy in philly that does amazing work. He's done work on every car i've owned so far...well except my WRX of course! And it always comes out perfect. (and on a couple occasions, better than when i bought it...) Give him a call
