Accident...hit by deer, Any body shop recommendations that will do ZL1 bumper? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

FatalSports · 06-19-2013, 03:03 PM

A deer ran across the highway and hit the side of my car...mainly damaging the front fender and part of the front bumper.

I can take the car to any shop I want...so does anyone have any recommendations for a shop, in Maryland, that would be willing to do a ZL1 bumper instead of the stock SS bumper since pricing will be similar? Insurance will be covering cost of repairs.

Thanks!

Thanks! Will have it towed to a shop tomorrow...just hoping someone can chime in before then if they know of a shop that would be willing to order the zl1 bumper and doing that vs installing the stock ss bumper.

Lots of performance shops around. Try T&T Performance. I had a good experience there recently.

I know there are a lot of performance shops in the area...but I need one that is a body shop as well.

Ordered my bumper for Ofer and had it shipped to the body shop. Body shop called me when it came in and I inspected the pieces. Then they put the bumper on the car before prepping and painting and called me into inspect again. They kept me in the loop the whole time.

Here she is finished:

Yep
Here is a fresh picture since I am sitting in a parking garage waiting to get out

It is hard to see but I think they did a great job. I have seen bumpers were they didn't shave it down enough.

Your ears must have been ringing.
