Not sure who remembers this but about 2 1/2 months ago some idiot hit my Camaro while I sat at a construction zone stop. I ended up taking my car to Burien Collision Center in Burien WA. The owner, Gayle, and his staff were so great throughout this whole process. AND Gayle has a Camaro SS 2010 and knew how much I wanted to get on the road. Well it took forever to get parts, but the work he did on my car came out great. If you get into an accident in WA on the West side look them up. GREAT group to work with and bent over backwards and is true to their word to make things right. Even down to a scratch on the tail light they fixed. Anyway here are the before and after pictures...GLAD to say I am back on the road SCREAMIN' !!

AND did I mention they painted on my rally stripes? OH YEAH the silver lining for me...I tried for the Corsa exhaust but just couldn't get it before the OEM. Then on top of that I got my 5TH GEN license plate too...and swaped my Seahawks plate cover for a Sounders FC one..what can I say I love them both and I ain't puttin a front plate on until I get a ticket

Thanks Burien Collision for helping me out.

I get so excited posting I guess. Here was the other shot of the side view for the back panel.

We can't see a difference, which is awesome. But my question is, can you tell a difference?

Glad to see it's all good now!

To be honest I can't. I know we all say that it won't feel the same, but it feels so good to get behind the wheel again of this car. I had a challenger for about 2 months and the V6...boy did I make the right decision buying the Camaro. The challenger is so heavy. Then I got into this friggin Buick Lucerne...old ass man car...nothing against Buicks but I love my Camaro. Now that I got it back I am so glad and they did an awesome job on the exhaust. It's like new again .

I gotta say, they did a GREAT job on your stripes, I LOVE glossy stripes SOOOOOO much better than the flat or satin ones......LOOKIN GOOD!!!!!

the owner of theis camaro was a true trooper waiting so long after the order of the car.and having it about 1 mo before some careless driver wrecked his car and his day.
the diff between body shops are the one that work for the insurance co and some times takin shortcuts. the only thing the insurance companys wory about is that you didnt take it to one of there shops. dont listen to yours or the other ins co. burien collision center is proud of the repairs and that my cust got his car back as it took me over a year to get my 2 ss rs yellow. and im very suprised i did get the parts in a timely manner other than the cat exhaust pipe that took over 3 weeks alone thanks alex
