Yeah, that and my dad owns a body shop and can probably save us our deductable. So there's always a bright side to everything.

I was wanting to shave the front emblem anyways.

 

Mines filed under collision since it was a stationary item in the road.

 

awww man. that sucks.

sorry you guys. :happysad:

 

that sucks. tough luck.

 

That sucks dude.


Although I came into the thread thinking you got YOUR lip busted in a fight or whatever. I really dont know what would be better though, after seeing the pics.

 

Well...I went to my dad's body shop and got an Estimate. With all new OEM parts (without the new windshield included...it has chips and needs to be replaced)...my total damage came to right around $1,700. But that's with all OEM parts...I'm really sure that my insurance company will try to get some aftermarket or used parts to put on there...but even if they do, it'll still be around $1,000. The good thing about my dad owning a body shop is, that he said every day after I get off of work, I can come in and work on my car and we'll repaint the whole car .

 

Don't get aftermarket.

The tool who replaced the parts on my car before I got it, got an aftermarket hood and bumper. You can SO tell.

 

I didn't plan on it...I'm gonna take the money they give me, buy a used OEM bumper, and hopefully a CF hood. Plus...I worked at a body shop for about 1.5 years...so I know all about Aftermarket parts and how the fit & stuff.
