Default RE: just when things couldn't get any worse..

somone hit me about 4 days ago to.. i think they are out for us, our trucks are idiot magnets.

Im going to soak the guys insurance that hit me, with everything, he hit my front left panel, and messed up my flare, but im going to have them paint the rollpan, fix my tailagte, fix small dents, and repaint my entire front end. Those damn 18 wheeler rocks are starting to look bad.

i woudl beleive that the flares are that expensive to paint. One our flares are like unique rare items.. 250 each at JUNKYARDS!!! If you can find them, dealer is useally like 2 k for a set.. outragous.

to paint them, they are a plastic, so it would have to have a certian type of paint, if you ask me, they dont primer it.. i thinjk they just clearcoat it.. or somthing, im about to have 2 of mine painted.. ill let you guys know how much it costs.
