For a second there I thought You converted your Car to look like the last Pic.
Is that a mid-50s vette? or just a kit car?

Even after someone hit YOU? Shouldn't the person who hit you be paying for this?

different countries different laws


last time I visit my country I saw a Pick-up truck hit this dude riding a motorcicle, the dude fell of the bike, was bleeding like crazy and the driver of the pick up came out of the vehicule, give the dude on the floor RD$2500.00 pesos ( less than US$100.00 ) and everybody was happy. no insurance, no police, nothing. How much would something like that cost ?

A truck hitting a motorcylist with personal injury involved? Anywhere from $10,000 to a couple million, depending on the occupation of the motorcylist and his "loss of happiness". Basically the better the lawyer, the more your going to see.

Love that colour! Gotta make a multimedia-thread for us later, with many pictures! Getting my car to the paint-shop this summer, can I ask what price you're dealing with?
interesting colour...i bet its gonna look really good with some clear coat and wet sanding. looks kinda flat right now.
