Damn Ghetto Kids...
I parked in the street (right in front of my house) due to the snow last week here in NY, and there were some neighborhood (ghetto) animals (kids) playing near my car...
So, I told them to move from near it, because I don't wanna have any damage on my car due to their accidents.
A couple days later...
I check my car out, its looking pretty dirty, and I see this dent near the rear taillight on the rear quarter panel...
So now, I have scuffs on my front bumper (dealer's fault-occured in transport), scratches on my front passenger door (dealer's fault-occured in transport), scratch on the right rear passenger molding (mom-scuffed the wall in my driveway at an angle), hole in rear bumper (mom-reversed into the front bumper of a Lincoln Town Car with the front license plate screws sticking out).
I went to a friend of a friend's body shop and he quoted me $450 for all this work to be taken care of... Imma have him shave all my rear emblems at the same time.
Every time I go to the dealership they tell me to bring the car (to take care of their damages) to their body shop (they suck ***), and I need an argument to make them pay for it (and possibly to take car of my other work
). Do you guys think this is a good quote? Any argument suggestions?
Some questions..
1) Any place to get a nice grill for my sedan?
2) Where can I get some Red/Clear Ferio tails? (Its an '03)
3) " OEM fogs?
I still plan on getting my Ferio lips but right now, I need to get the $$$ first....
Some help would be appreciated

I don't like their service department or body shop, the people there are very lazy and sloppy, if you go to get a dash trim replaced, they'll **** something else up in the same area while installing the new trim.
Lets see how it goes, I'll keep you guys posted...
imp: 
that sucks dude. true OEM fogs are expensive. find the OEM 'style' ones. they fit fine and are only $100 bucks. i would also stay stock with the grille too, but i would suggest getting the color matched trim piece. (i think the chrome looks tacky on some colors) check out my sedan if you wanna see how it looks.
that sig is funny...
cell phone....money....stock civic....
not tryin' to flame, it just made me laugh.

Rep Power: 328 450 to touch up some scratches, and fix a dent, and shave the rear emblems? little high, at least where i am. the best body work man around here (in the southeast, his work has been in numerous magazines) would only charge me about $300 for that. btw, you can shave all the rear emblems except the h on the trunk yourself. you could do the h yourself, so long as you know how to patch the two holes its gonna leave.

Actually, he has to paint the two passenger doors, paint the front bumper, replace the rear bumper skin (it has a whole), and fix the dent.
