What's up guys. So about 6:30 this morning I woke up to my car alarm going off. Turns out my neighbor backed into my car while backing out of his driveway. Most of the damage was in the trunk lid and he scuffed the bumper pretty good in one spot. Total damage according to the shop I went to get a quote with was about $1300 for a new trunk lid, paint and labor. Haven't talked to the adjuster yet but it is on my to do list today. I talked to the shop about painting some stuff that i've been wanting to get done and figured now would be the perfect opportunity to do so. For those of you that have seen pics of my car, i'm going for a green and black theme. I have the SE lip kit in the unpainted flat black that it comes in and my hood vinyl wrapped flat black. If the adjuster dishes out more than the $1300 that they quoted me, I want to use that towards painting the lip kit and the hood. I'm wanting opinions on what to do. I considered color matching everything to the metallic green but then I was like well it might look too bland. Should I have the lip kit and hood painted a glossy black or flat black? Color match the hood and paint the lip kit glossy/ flat black and paint the roof black to match? What do yall think? Here are a couple of pics of the damage and of the car for reference to the color scheme.
