Damn...women drivers...someone had to say it.
Glad you and the woman and kid are ok. Pretty light looking damage. Good luck with the repairs. Did you get her insurance?

Lee's Body Shop
James at Lee's body shop is a great shop. I have had a lot of work done there. He is very knowledgable of subies. He has worked on my sti and knows the car very well. Its in concord on bates off of port chicago highway off of highway 4.

I always use Carmat Collision down at Santa Cruz even I am now living in San Jose. They are the best! But you have to make sure either Shawn or Matt (owner) take your case. I had a little 'bad experience' with them when Matt was out of town. But he came back and finished the rest. Sorry to hear what happened and good luck with your repair!

k just went to get my car estimated at D&S autobody in san ramon. Looks like they'll be fixing my car and will be replacing my trunk lid.
Does anyone have reccomendations for a place to purchase a CF trunk lid? i found a seibon cf trunk lid from www.southcoastperformance for $550 shipped i believe. has anyone ever dealt with them? is seibon a good company? if not, what company should i look into?

Too bad M2 is gone. IIRC, Seibon, Charge Speed, and VIS are the main makers of carbon fiber trunks for us. Though, I've never had any personal experience with any of them.
