They specialize in mustang restos but also do accident work. Not sure what they would charge but they do good work.

Joining the PCA will be the best thing you could ever do.

Even if in the end you go to the dealer, you will likely get a discount on parts, which will easily pay for the PCA fees.

Also, your local chapter is not simply a good resource for technical advice, but the events and socials are great opportunities to get involved in.

Lastly, you really need to have the car serviced at an independent shop. It's long out of warranty and you can get the same (or better) service for half the price.

As a temporary fix I would use a dab of silicone to hold the lamp in place. This way it can be removed when you find the right place to do the work.

Good luck with your car and have fun!!!

Default +1 for PCA

Without seeing the actual damaged area, hard to tell what actually needs to be done

as someone mentioned, book hours probably includes all the events that lead up to the repair itself, I’m not sure…it also assumes the tech isn’t in a competition and trying finish a race

the PCA suggestion is what I’d also suggest

research an independent shop and it might be a better solution
