Default 1 week of owning the car and this happens

Well on Sat at 2/3am some jackass decides it's a good idea to side swipe the Camaro. Went yesterday morning and got a quote of $450 to get it fixed.

Yep, not even a piece of paper on the windshield. Most likely a kid or drunk driver.

Sounds bad, especially as you called it a ''swipe'' and it's caused $450 in damage. Hope it's fixed soon if it isn't already.

I actually have identical damage to my camaro. I was quoted $450 to fix damage n paint.
Not sure of the process though.

Sucks that you got hit, but on the bright side, it just looks like metal damage. Getting it fixed is cheap because I don't think anything will have to be replaced.
