Are you in California? If so check with the Ca. Department of Insurance. They will tell you what and what not the insurance company can do with your car’s repairs. I believe there is a formula of around 65% or so if the repair cost exceeds that percent of the car’s value they will total it out. I am not 100% sure on the percent but as we all know AM repairs are expensive. Good luck.

 

It looks to be minor damage and not even close worry about that.

But I do have a recommendation for a better cover. https://www.calcarcover.com/CoverDesigner/ChooseColor

 

It IS time for a new cover! I was not very happy with the CoverCraft cover. The fit was good but there was no soft liner so I hated putting it on and taking it off. Definitely wasn't getting the Ferris Bueller vibes. Thanks ellow 11-12mpg'r.

 

Nice thing is they are not that far away, in Simi Valley, so you can drive out there and see the different materials.

Yes I tried to think of the most politically incorrect opposite of green screen name..

 

Agreed. You'd be surprised at how close to perfect a good pdr guy could get. Don't see any straight creases which is good.

 

I have used these guys and their work was almost flawless.

I use to bring my car (whatever I owned at the time) by a buddy's used car lot when he had a PDR tech scheduled to come by. "Fix whatever you find". I think it's perfect already and he finds like 5-6 micro dents.

 

Sad to see another damaged Aston, but glad they didn't get the tail light. Those are, what? $2k each now?

 

Agreed AND I already have the clears so I'm not looking for an upgrade. Now the bad news: I cannot find clear reflectors anywhere. Bumper needs to come off for a repaint. It would be a great time to replace all the reflectors with clears. Anywhere advertising clear reflectors is out of stock. Anyone have a lead?

 

My opinion is to leave the reflectors red and avoid running afoul of the police. Clear tail lights are fine because the bulbs are red. But red rear reflectors are mandatory for all cars in every state.

 

Problem solved. One less thing to worry about.

 

It could've been anyone unfortunately. At least it's not bad, it's just on the corner. I was picturing the entire rear quarter panel shoulder dented in about 4 inches like a crinkled coke can.

 

I wouldn't worry about legality in the LA area, doubt any police would even bother or even notice. Personally I think the factory red and amber look fine though.

 

I did this to my ugly rear bumper reflectors...I like the red tail lights on meteorite silver but covered the reflectors in black reflective tape. It glows white when hit by light

 

Red Pants doesn't have anything?
