Coolingmist... 16k to just replace a cosmetically damaged clam sounds totally out of line, was there any other damage? (radiator, crash structure, headlamps?)

crash structure was about $2400 of that, they had to put the star shield back on, the radiator was damaged.
It was funny cause from the outside, it just had a 4 X 4 hole in the front where a hitch hit it. I failed to mention the crash structure it was knicked, they said it needed replaced.
Also, remember the clam is something like $4500 or so from Lotus, but the shop put a 25% markup that as they need to profit on the parts as well.
