I need help from club members

I am so upset- someone either rear ended or front ended me- it left a perfect impression of a license plate with jagged corners- enough to gouge through. This is above the back up light on my MCS. Guys- what body shop do you recommend - because I have to repair it ASAP- I can't stand looking at it! Any information will be well appreciated . Big mahalo.

Last year I had my hood replaced at Central in Aiea. They did a great job.

Good Luck!

I thought your hood was replaced over on the east coast about a month ago?

Sorry to hear about that.

Same thing happened to me Sept of last year. Approx $800 to repair, maybe less.

Replace the bumper, replace inside foam of bumper, repaint and labor.

Central Body and Paint near Cutter Ford in Aiea off Hekaha street.
98-021 Kamehameha Hwy
Aiea, HI 96701
(808) 488-0045

They can do estimates on the spot and email or call you with the numbers within a day or two.
