got my estamate... slightly over $1000... with labor... this is y im letting a body shop handle it... this included like $350 for a tire.. $120 for a rim (no joke $120), a brake disk, alignment, a shock, didnt include a spindle (or what ever you call it on the back), didnt include a hub assembly, and didnt even look at the front end for damage... (i specifically told him to because of the to truck and the curb i slammed into)...

im afraid he is gonna be sadly dissapointed when the actual total comes in...

oh and 2 hours of labor is all he allowed for...

jack ass...
