It's bad enough when you hurt your car, it is always worse when someone else does it for you

BUT, if you are replacing parts, I agree that you'd might as well do the LCI M-sport conversion.

Dude that sucks! I love the M3 front though on a pre-lci TiAg

I'd agree, LCI convert would be solid.

I'm going to go with the LCI hood, LCI M3 Rep bumper, and Perf. kidney grilles. Body shop says its not worth it to repair the hood, I'm looking for a good deal on LCI Adaptive Xenons so I can switch to those too.

The worst part is right before I went I took this pic, then immediately was posting the aftermath a few hours later.

Was leaving Dockers, one of my favorite restaurants around here, and as I'm slowly driving through the lot this delivery truck starts backing up. I honked and people started yelling, but he just kept coming.

Can anyone recommend a body/paint shop in the Metro Detroit area that's open on Saturdays?

Long story short, I scratched the front right side of my bumper on a pole when returning my company car and picking up my e90.

There's like two quarter sized gouges that's down to the primer.

I don't know anyone that does weekends. Standard MO for a body shop is your 9-5/6 M-F...

they're open on Saturday tho? I knew the other bits...

during weekdays, I would use either them or the Autometric's European store. I personally use autometric. they repainted my back end after getting rear ended and somehow managed to seamlessly blend frozen black and not layout any orange peel... their painter has got to be one talented SOB, the paint company swore that that couldn't be blended.

I'll give my SA a call as well to see if I can get something set up for a Saturday.

Did you get your m3 bumper painted by them?

It's not so much a big deal if its on Saturday, I would just rather not change my work schedule or wait for my week off during the July 4th week.

What's the address? When I type it into Google I get quite a bit of results. OR do you think they would be more or less the same throughout locations?

I'll keep both in mind.

Yeah, I got my bumper painted by them. No orange peel. They've repaired a spiderweb imperfection on agent's e90 as well.

Love the color combo. Post a pic of your ride so everyone else can see what I saw at C&C on Saturday!
