Take NO chances and NO crap on some idiots mistakes.
I'd insist that the body shop have a laser frame alignment system.
My body shop I take everything to just got one. The laser system cost him 10K besides the rack.
I asked him if he really thinks he can get the vehicles back to factory specs, his response "is that all the closer you want to get"
These alignement systems put vehicles not to just factory but blue printed specs.
Some of you know that "factory" has some wide tolerances from blue printed.
Make sure your fenders haven't been pushed back 1mm.
My body shop tells me how strong the Aurora is, he had both the Aurora and an explorer that were in an accident at his shop, Aurora t-boned the explorer and rolled it standing still.

thats not a bad price, how is the clarity on the lense, it is in good shape I might have the body shop buy a right side and I'll buy that one from you, send me a pic. [email protected]

There is a minor area that is scratched on the top of the lens, it cannot be seen once the hood is down, has no real noticeable damaging scratches. I will get you a pic before the weekend.
