I would just do a Google search of a blue car with aftermarket wheels and see what is out there. I have a nautical blue trail and when I get wheels I will probably go with a black chrome or something to that effect. Personally do not like black wheels. Gold and bronze would remind me to much of...

Bumper mounting bracket you can order at the dealership. Oem is 43.73. For fitment purposes I would only go oem.

As someone mentioned above those look intentional. Not much you would do that would cause vertical scratches like that. If you can feel them or catch ur nail on them they need to be painted. Call your insurance company a file a claim. Will be a comprehensive claim and your deductible maybe lower...

I look over every car that is repaired at a shop I am based out of. Check your gaps. Make sure they are uniform. Make sure your doors open and close. Make sure there is no over spray. Look to make sure they painted things like the bumper off the car. Read over the estimate make sure the right...

Make sure you get a new bumper that crack is bad plus I hate how toyota designed the rear bumper with the step pad integrated in. When the shop goes to paint that bumper they have to mask the step pad. Clear will never set right and it will over time start to flake away. Other than the bumper...

I don't think I will be able to make it that weekend. But if this is a yearly event I will be planning on attending next year for sure. I am very interested in attending other events in the area. So if anyone knows of any 4R get together in and around PA please try and keep me in mind.Have fun...

Have fun guys

My job just posted a catastrophic event in Colorado yesterday asking us to go and write estimates in CO. I didn't get picked but anyway. You have car insurance I'd say use it. It's a comprehensive claim and should effect your rates. Hail damage is so hard to see. One day you will see nothing...

Like that grill piece

Are you going to run through ur insurance? Doesn't really make a difference. If the shop offers a lifetime guarantee that's who I would go with. That way if something isn't done correctly you have that to fall back on. Maybe find a toyota dealership with a body shop. That way they will do all...

I would never buy someone else's project unless I was planning on re - doing everything. Personally for that amount I would just buy new. Not only is it new but in most cases interest rate will be lower as well.

I am a fan of option 1. For the simple fact that it's easy enough to check tire pressure. You'd be shocked as to how many customers cars I get into that the light is on and they don't even care or even know. I ran my wrx every spring summer and fall with the time light on. Didn't feel the need...

I have yet to run into a hail claim yet as an Auto Damage adjuster but from seeing it to training hail shouldn't break the paint just dent the panel. PDR, paint less dent removal, will be the best method for repair. If there are a lot of dent and some over the size of a half dollar you will be...

"The trailer could have struck the lift gate" ;)

I am currently an auto damage adjuster. They will select LKQ parts aka previously loved parts at there choice or aftermarket before going OEM. Sure the picture quote came in cheaper it always will. Here in PA we are not allowed to write estimate based off pictured. Like mentioned above its just...
