Does temperature affect bondo?  It's getting awfully cold awfully quick in MA these days.

It will really slow the setting time. Also it doesn't adhere well to very cold metal. Or so I'm told. I've never used it outside a heated garage.

Well, the estimate I got was for $3000-3500.   :banghead:

I just spoke with a rep from my insurance company, and it makes sense for me to file the claim.  The cost increase on the policy (over 3 years) will be ~$1400 so even then it's only 50% of the total cost of repairing the damage. 

Here's my $3000 mistake

You would think on a nice car like that it would have mirrors that can fold in and out. If my car didn't have those, my wife would have taken off my mirror about 6 months ago. She was backing it out of the garage (which she doesn't usually take my car) and she hit the mirror on the garage but all it did (thankfully) was flip the whole mirror out. At that point I was glad they do that. Good luck on yours.

I'd get 2 or 3 more estimates on that.  A whole new set of doors wouldn't be $3000.
