i'm just curious if a body shop will order me custom parts or they will only replace with OEM or whatever. Does anyone know how that works?

hey my nieghbor's sons own a body shop...Do you want me to give them a call and see if they order custom parts instead of stock parts and install them?? The place is called Woody's collison...its on Elmgrove rd in Gates.

Yup the road cone was me!!!!

Oh, man, I almost shat my pants... you guys are going to get me into trouble at work for laughing so damn loud.

Ok, now i'm scared to let my wife drive my blu-balt. Last Winter, I get a call from her @ work(fredericton) that she did something to her echo.... she said she hit something. I laughed it off til she got home.
You hit a what?!
Close up
See the hair, we call that DNA evidence!
last shot
The bumper had to be replaced as well as the 2 doors on that side, as well as the frame bent back a bit, i guess she hit it's head and it spun around and smaked all along the side of the car? I have no idea how it did that. Now it was only a small animal, I'm guessing a coyote.... we'll never know cause she has no clue. If anyone knows the highway between Saint John and Fredericton, you know that is it known to have a shitload of Moose(or is it Messe? LOL) Just thinking about this i'm scared for her... and my wife!

The above is a reason to just hit the animal if you see it, you may end up with less damage than if you swerve and lose control. of course sometimes you may be able to avoid it at all costs...YMMV
