So, I guess I'm naive, but I don't see why the pre-98 trunk lids are preferred  ?

I can believe that.
Is she turning this into her insurance company or is she paying out of pocket?

Her insurance company says that she has expressed intrest in paying out of her pocket. So we will see what happens, I'm gonna go hit the ford dealer up for another estimate, just to see what they come up with.

IMHO, be careful with the Ford dealer's body shop! Unless you know they are good, skip them and go to a good, reputable auto body repair shop.

RIGHT when I read that... I said to myself "DUHHHH" little woman driving a big tahoe... Happens ALL of the time. People cant handle those large of cars. And for some odd reason, they never pay for their mistakes.. that is if its a hit and run... In midland nobody EVER sticks around when they hit someone. This is the most dishonestl place you can live in in michigan. Be glad that she came in and talked to you, Though, had I seen that on my tour... I probably would have cried consideirng the series of events that have happened around that car lately.

Oh I beg to differ. Sit around downtown Detroit for awhile, I've witnessed dozens of "bump and goes" in parking lots, etc. NO ONE down there knows how to park (especially parrallel). People open doors into other cars without care, etc, etc. Just take a look at how te cars look down there... find it hard to find one thats both clean and untouched.  All thought they'll have some pretty bitchin' rims on em.
If the lady is going to be paying out of her pocket... go get the estimate done at a Ford Dealership. THey will give you the prices on NEW GENUINE ford parts, labor, and paint, etc. Get your quote there, submit it to the lady, take the check and get it done at a reputable paint shop where the cost will be much less but better quality.  Just like Luca said.
