yeah, the body shop guy said the dentless paint repair and some buffing should be sufficient, less than $200 if that's all it needs - but, I'm getting the deep gouges in my hatch removed and repainted, from my garage door closing on it - that will be another $370 on top of that... so in any event, I'm gonna shell out at least $500...
The 'D goes into the shop next Tuesday, day after Memorial Day, for the body work, so hopefully good as new soon...
