hey guys i know quite a few people pm me asking what ever happened to the car, well the guy went to court and apparently they ordered the shop to pay for all impound and towing fees summing up to $1200 and they have to fix the car back to safety standards and not just driveable conditions, and it will need to be taken to an MTO office for inspection afterwards, the guy who took the car has 7200 hours of community service to do as well as pay $2000 for the damage done to an OPP cruiser, and he needs to show the judge all fees paid in full or else the bank/government will seize all assets owned by the shop and pay me for the damages. So now its just a waiting game to see how long they are gonna take to fix the car and put it back onto the road.

talk about slap on the wrist.. but glad to hear that you're no longer being held responsible for anything are they paying for a rental as well? i hope so.. also what shop is doing the repair? i hope its not the one that is responsible for this mess..

hope everything goes well for you.

I would have thought the body shop should have to cover something , cause it was taken from their property by one of their employees . Even though work orders state not respons for property left on premises . It was their own people that took it .
I,d take the money deal , part or sell the car and start over unless its spomething you really want . With a hit like that guaranteed 2 yrs down the road , wind whistles and door seal leaks . the seam sealer will be broken open places u cant see and water will get inside the car especially around the wheel wells ..77.

yup good call, its gonna have problems down the road, either take a cash deal or have them fix the car and sell it. personally i wouldnt let that shop fix the car, id demand that another shop fix the car properly at this shops expense

Ok so after about a month of going to and from the shop I'm getting the car fixed as we speak at another autobody shop that only deals with hi-end executive and luxury cars. The owner said that he would even warranty the car for 3 months after he's done with it cause it will be in mint condition when finished. The other shop is paying for the work to be done and the impound fees and damage to the opp cruiser. All in all after this is done, im gonna just do the work myself when it comes to my cars, even though i do most of it already.

btw does anyone know where i can find a set of hid fog lights for this car? As well as tinting 5% rear and 20% front?
much appreciated

I have been told that Audioheaven is excellent for tinting in terms of product quality and customer service.

Should be no more than $200 tax in...you just need to haggle with them a bit.
Ask for Jeff.
