Look what happened to my Accord last week! Thankfully I didn't have my new bumper and TYC's on there yet. This lady just pulled out in front of me and wham, $1,800 later this is what happened. The insurance said it's 20% my fault which is B.S. but what are you gonna do. I have already ordered a new bumper, fender, and TYC's (decent little perk). My question is, does anyone in the Oregon-NorCal area paint? The only thing I'm gonna have the dealer do is pull the body back out under the fender and replace the odd's and end's that were messed up when I hit her.
Thanks for any help, lead's, opinion's in advance,
R.J.

 

Also, do you guys think these bulbs in place of the high beams would smoke the circiut?

A good chance of it. I had to replace wiring on my 93 because of 100w bulbs. Never again.

 

Anybody?
:dunno:

 

thats 1800!!! My moms 4th gen accord was way worse than that when i crashed it and it cost us 832 with us doing all the work to completly fix it.



I had the entire car repainted for $320 at earl schieb of Concord, CA with them fixing the fender instead of getting a new one and they did a good job ... i also had my 94 accord repainted at the same place for $440 with the pro 3 job. Looks good.

Pics of the whole process on her car.

Wow, you car looks good.

PS...that's what mine looks like right now at the body shop, re-painted, no elbems yet, a slight bit of polish necessary for the front, but otherwise the exact same, and it's been there since December 22, 2003... The guys doing the work are doing me a favor in certain retrospect, but still...I WANT MY CAR BACK!!! Too long!

 

damn thats a long time, it took 3 days for my car, and like 2 for my moms .... i dropped the car off on a wednesday night (concord is 40 miles from where i live) and i picked it up on a saturday.

Back when i had my moms painted i was going to college out in concord so it was no problem to get the car painted out there, and the reason i went back is cause they did a good job on my moms. He cut me a deal too since i was a returning customer.

Hopefully yours comes out nice for all that time they are spending on it

 

There is a good body and paint shop in Fremont called Scotties. It's my friends shop and they do really good work and aren't to expensive nither. There is another place that painted my crx in Fremont by streetwize motorsports but I dont remeber the name of the place. They did a nice job in painting my crx, it looked better the factory paint job.

just my 2 cents!

 

How far south into Cali is Fremont?

 

Well finally got it out this Thursday, these are only preliminary pictures as it looks quite a bit different now that I have exchanged a few lights and actually put the "Accord" and "EX" emblems back on. Pictures soon to come.
