smashed my EVO nose, I need Pics...

I had an altercation with the back of a mercedes and I lost. When O'Rielly Mitisubshi tried to tell me it was ready to pickup I was appalled. Nothing lined up, the point of the hood was an inch over shadowing the emblem area and the headlights were completely under the hood. The paint didn't match, they said it was because of how he sprayed left to right versus the manufacture spraying up and down (hogwash). Also the paint had buff marks all over the hood. And he was proud of how it looked. I stood my ground and they finally said that the rails were bent and would work on the other things. The impact speed was low (airbags didn't blow) and I have been without the car for two weeks. I need pic's of how the emblem area looks and how the headlights look. Also If someone can take the pics from the side angle that would help.

Dude, sorry about the boo-boo. So did you tell the dealer to take a long walk on a short pier or what?

Man, that dealership is so f'ed up, I will never go back there.

I hope your Evo isnt the white one I see screaming around here all the time, it (used to be) so clean lookin.

Good luck with the repairs, good work not taking **** from those guys.

No I drive a black one, I picked it up today and they had done a good job, finally. But I think I will try to never get into an accident again to avoid dealerships. Thanks for the photo.

No way, don't take it from the body shop. I will take pictures tomorrow. I have a new bumper cover, I had a minor fender bender with a Kia, which embarrassingly enough, was my fault, here's a pic of what happened to my car:




My body shop knows how **** I am about my cars and they never get it right on the first go around, but in the end it gets done exactly how I want it. Everything should match perfectly, the only difference I noticed in mine, which was a replacement bumper are the rivets underneath the headlights are now black plastic, instead of silver metal. I almost made them redo that, but decided not to because I intend to eventually black out the lights.
