Well I was cruising along in the left lane, and this guy made a right turn from a business, into the right lane and then immediatley switched into the left without looking. I guess I was in his blind spot. Well he scratched the entire side of my car and smashed my mirror. He was in a Lexus LS. I got his card, insurance and everything. I did not think of getting a police report at the scene. We both called his insurance and I'm waiting to hear whats next. 
I'm wondering how much damage it may be, it could have been much worse. It may be dented a little bit but from a distance u can't even really tell. Maybe I'll be able to get m5 mirrors out of it.

Fogs lights are great. Looks good even with side scraped.
I'm going to take the car to the DEALER so I can already start getting quotes.
