Looks really good! #getridofthegap

Looks great. But wow, $8k! Similar level of damage to my MKZ last year was $2K, also paid by GEICO. These cars are not cheap to fix. No wonder insurance is pricey.

New wheels are gorgeous!

Thanks, NWs550 and Old 5 Oh. Hope to get her lowered and have the alignment checked in the next day or so. I think the stance is going to be awesome.

Here's a pic of Zemedici's black stang on the same wheels and tire sizes with Steeda's progressive springs. This is the look I'm going for.

Sorry about your car!

Geico is wonderful to deal with. I've had the experience of dealing with them as a costumer. I crashed my Harley a few years ago. They let me pick any shop I'd like. They didn't even blink when I picked a Harley dealership (I wanted to be sure original parts are going to be used) and they handled everything great. Damage to the bike was about $6,500.

Update: I saw you already fixed it. Looks great!

Thanks, ilan. I'm very pleased with the quality of the repairs.

What's the size of those rear tires?
And how you decide between the eibach prokit or sportline kit compare to the steeda progressive springs?

The tires are 275/35/20 on the front, and 295/35/20 on the rear. Bridgestone Poetenza S001.

I chose Steeda based on the good reviews on this forum and b/c I'm running their CAI, which is a solid piece of equipment.

Hope this helps.

My Ruby and I saw her at Berli's right after you dropped her off. Glad you got her back, and looks to be good as new! Love the new wheels!

Here are a few quick pics that took this morning. The damage was to the right rear quarter panel and rear bumper. Both were replaced with OEM parts and painted.

Did they paint just the panels, or blend into all the adjacent panels? Looks great and the paint seems to match perfectly.

Perfect Fix!

Damage...what damage? Surely cannot see where the damage occurred. What a great repair job and paint match!:clap2: Looking forward to seeing those new wheels in person at the next Austin meet up. Remember as always...Geaux Tigers!

Got Ruby back from the shop today. Can't say enough good about Berli's Body and Auto Fine Finishes. You can examine her closely - I did - and you can't tell where or what has been repaired and painted. And customer service is top notch. Kudos to John Clayton.

Also got the Velgen VBM7s and Bridgestone Potenzas mounted and installed today.

Next up, installing Steeda's progressive lowering springs. Hopefully in the next day or so.

I'm gonna be listing my PP wheels and tires for sale in the classified section if anyone is interested. The TPMSs will be included.

Great news! Yes, Berli's has done well by me on two past cars. They are perfectionists... Even in never-seen under the trunk-liner detail, mimicking factory BMW seams using some tricks they have up their sleeves.

Thanks, Tim. I'm very pleased with Berli's work.

Ha! Leonard Fournette - running over defensive backs and takin' names. :cheers:

They are detailed oriented craftsmen, that's for sure.
