Followup on '06 Safari Dent

The estimate to R&R three panels came to $3700. Believe it or not, the insurance company took the estimate and cut a check. The only surprise was the $80.00 freight charge.

This would take two or three large boxes. I think you'd understand the shipping charge if you see them yourself on receipt. $80 isn't out of line considering I can't send my daughter a pound of anything without it costing $5.

I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results! Next up: the 'After' pictures.

Here's the how the Intermountain AS dealer in Colorado Springs turned a glitch into a one of a kind! Seems the installer scratched the clear coat and this is how they fixed it!

Works for me and when I sell it, I'll ad $5,000 for the #1 of one Safari graphics!

Wow, they really seem to have done a great job on the panel replacement. Saw the post about the scratch and was concerned about that, but look good.

Did they actually remove the panels and replace them or did the simply place the new ones over the old ones?
