Well, I made a trip down to the body shop to see my car and I have to admit the place is excellent. They have all the equipment necessary, and the mechanics knew all about the Evo. I felt so relieved. That was on Saturday. I've been in touch throughout the week - and they said they will be painting at the end of this week.. and get my car back to me next week! I am thoroughly impressed. I'm praying that it's before thanksgiving 
Stay safe everyone.

It's official. I'm going to name this body shop as approved! Robert Christopher Collision in Hamilton, NJ. They have done a fantastic job with the car. I got her back on Tuesday evening - had her delivered without charge to my office in Somerset, and drove home.
She feels exactly the same!!!! I'm blown away. There is no shuddering, shaking, creaking, squeaking - at any speeds up to 100 mph. I haven't driven it like I've stole it yet, but pending that everything is perfect.
She looks and feels brand new, I'm so pleased!!
I'll be going to thank them on Saturday personally, and am thinking of getting new brake pads installed there.
They took their time, and I'm better for it.

glad to hear your ok, you know i hear so many people critize about the kumho tires i for once never had a problem with them yet, other then what a few others say it somewhat hydroplanes when it hits water. but nothing too serious.
How is their paint matching? I have rear bumper that needs to be painted.
One thing I will always give Mitsubishi props for is that their cars can take a hit under serious situations. I totalled an Eclipse by rolling it multiple times due to a tire blowout and my wife and I are still here to talk about it, with minimal stitches!!!!
Glad you were OK and got your baby back.

Any frame damage? There didn't look like there was much damage at all...maybe a control arm, door, fender, axle, strut, etc. Good luck and be careful in the rain or snow (or be like me and just park in the garage and drive a beater=)
