Curb Job
My wife ran into a curb the other day. It was raining and she was going around a corner and tried to stop because of another accident. Went to the dealer today and took some pics. The total damage is 3107.75. While it is in the shop im gonna have the running boards put on for $485.00 parts and labor.

Wow,that sucks.
Idea: in this web site classifieds, is a set of 16" wheels for $200. Why not go that route, I think there in Ohio, close to Kentucky. Save ya a little. Maybe try a salvage yard, for parts also. Maybe to new a vehicle though. The dealer could still do the work, all GM parts too, but yu save the Greenbacks!

Sounds like the right time to upgrade to aftermarket wheels to me, especially if they're already paying over $1100 for two stockers. 
Sorry to hear about the wreck though. Sounds like everyone is OK?
