First accident for my series blue :( - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Jfheisenberg · 07-07-2015, 10:07 AM

A way back, I posted another post in regards NJ interstate route 80 constructions and my car getting hit with all rocks from the pavement and construction.

Well, this morning, my car got hit by a medium size piece (im not sure what it was). It hit my front right side of the bumper and damage the sti lip kit, the bumper, the fog housing, the fog light, and dis-align the front right side of the bumper from the fender. I attached the picture but believe me that it looks worse in person.

Im so pissed at this because im sick of all the shit fighting around that interstate, the issue is that i can't avoid that highway because i have to get to work.

Anaways, i called the insurance and open a claim, i have to paid the $500 deductible and insurance will take care of the rest for the repair, i have never open a claim before and im not sure how long it will take for the repair to complete.

Can anybody from north jersey advise on a good/reputable auto body shop?

Thanks.

Didn't you just get that lip fixed? Don't look too bad...
