I couldnt agree more, I was in a military family so I didnt want to get into an argument with local law enforcement but I am thinking about filing a complait cause that was unacceptable in my book.
So the consensus is 300-400 for paint either on or off, I just wast sure if it would be cheaper off. I honestly dont want to do my own prep, the rest of the car has such great paint I want it all too look as factory as possible and this would be my first go at prep work. If it was my 97 id go for it cause Lil Balcky as I call her is my play around GP.
I agree the girls insurance should cover it but since I have no report to back it it might get a little sticky but I know claims can still be pushed through without them. Im gonna get a qoute first thing in the AM and go from there! Thanks for the input guys.
