Any good places around to get any body work done? Maybe some painting?

I hear my color is pretty spendy to buy.. Malibu blue (K7), same as trahma's..

Where do you guys get your stuff sprayed, I want to fix my back door, but paying 300-500 on top of having to buy a new door just makes me sad.

Best of luck getting it done for under $400. The guy I go to is up in Duluth so if you want to make a drive I can give you his number.

try using car-part.com to find a door that is your color if you dind't get a door yet.

I know there is an auto recycler in st. cloud, may wish to give them a call.

Look in the phone book and see what you can find for autobody. If the door is taken off and prepped, they will prob not charge as much.

I keep hoping someone runs into me in a parking lot or something so I can just pay my 500 copay and get both the front and back replaced, front has a small little dent I can probably just touch up.
