Default It Finally happened.....accident!

well today someone ran into my del sol. backed their acura SUV right back into me. i saw it commin and i tried frantically to throw it into reverse but I just couldnt grind it in. they had some good speed going so my hood and bumper are wasted along with the auxilary lights. Well, i only had this car for about almost 1 month now.
What i need now:


Desperatly lookin for:
(OEM parts)
Hood
Fenders
Front Bumper
Auxilary light brackets
all parts behind bumper that might be needed. (like the styrofoam absorber)

i need to give this guy an idea of what it will cost to fix.
must considder shipping and painting of parts.

it sounds like its the others person's fault, so just take it too a nice auto body place that you trust, and let them charge the shit out of the other person's insurance to fix your car with all oem parts and brand new paint for your front end. Since your not paying let the auto body take care of everything, i'm sure they can find you all oem parts.

Not trying to be a jerk, I had the same experience in my Si (a lady in the Jeep Grand Cherokee backed right into me and I saw it coming and was frantically trying to get into reverse) but from my experience the first thing I should've done in that situation is lay on the horn. Anyway, best of luck with the repairs...definitely see if you can get the body work done under insurance.

got a 2k personal check yesterday

now what do i buy?

i would like a custom hood, but not in CF.

I can find some nice body kits for $200 but shipping is another $200.

can someone post a great resource for parts? no junkyards within around 60 miles have a del sol.
