Welcome aboard! Hope you get your car back soon! Mine spent all of last winter in the body shop (Thanksgiving to first week of March)! The hood took 7 weeks to finally get one that wasn't damaged. I didn't mind too much as I got to drive free rental trucks in the snow

After the first snow of the year, this was on the Sunday, I was headed up to Columbia mall (to finish my xmas shopping), one of my rear tires, it felt like the left, slipped on something (thinking black ice). I almost regained control and it slipped again, and ended up wiping out on the guard rail. I did a tail spin and then my left rear crashed first, then the front left. This was going north on 29, had just crossed the bridge into Howard County and was going up the slope. I was in between packs of cars so I did not take anyone out with me when I crossed the lane into the shoulder.

There is more damage than what appears in this picture. Luckily I was able to spare any mechanical damage and is all bodywork right now. Still around $8k worth of damages though. It's not pretty to see the Stang chopped up like that, but I try not to think about it. Don't know when I'll have my ride back. Hopefully by the EOM.

Nothing to worry about with your Stang! Mine was in the exact same shape yours is currently in and she came out great!

Ouchie!! Looks like they did your cut in the same spots too.

Was supposed to get mine back today, but the replacement bumper didn't fit right!! D:
They are going to try to get Geico out there so they can get me an OEM one.

Nice!! I was thinking of GT/CS rear end, but then couldn't make up my mind so I let it go. It was because I went with Roush front and wasn't sure if it would look right or good. Anyways, the body shop didn't bother contacting me back about it, so I didn't push it either.
