  1. So I have an update.. The initial estimate to repair the damage, replace the tail lights and repaint was 1800 bucks and some change. I found a legit shop that does amazing work that is redoing the estimate and submitting it to the insurance for approval. There were some damages that weren't addressed and all of the hourly rates were super low (I. E. 30 an hour for repair work when every shop in the world charges at least 55). the new estimate should be closer to 3 grand if not slightly over so after that to cover the rest of the truck, I will be out of pocket between 3 and 4 grand. Could be a lot worse I suppose but the truck was in need of new paint so I guess it's not all too bad. I'll start a new thread and post some pics of the damage and repair/repaint progress as it happens. If anyone else ever needs a paint shop in San Diego I have become an expert on the subject these last 2 weeks lol

  2. And just to be clear... I have been budgeting to get the truck repainted anyways and have set aside about 6k. But given the fact that a drunk driver decided to hit my parked truck and then run when I told him the cops were coming to write an incident report, it would be such a nice gesture for his pos ass to help reduce the amount I'd have to pay... I'm not looking for a whole paint job for free, just a little body work and what not rolled into the actual repair...

  3. So the other night my truck was hit while it was parked outside my apartment... I'm pretty sure the bed is going to get replaced...

    Does anybody know of a good body shop in the area that wouldn't mind burying some work and paint costs into an insurance claim? I'd like to have my tailgate handle shaved as well as get the rest of the truck repainted the same time the bed gets replaced/painted without paying a ton out of pocket...

  4. Eric thanks again for taking the initiative to make these pans available to us new era SS owners that weren't able to buy and mod these trucks back in the 2000's! The roll pan made it home safe and sound after I moved it to the front passenger seat lol. It was awesome meeting with ya. Maybe we can organize aa So Cal meet up or something sometime. Your glass guy definitely knows what he's doing. Anybody thinking about getting one, do it!
