I had thought I'd escaped the cursed phase by now, relatively unscathed and everything. Turns out not so much. Basically, what happened was some girl in a Juke was too busy texting to not drive over to my side of the pavement and hit me square in the front bumper. Pretty frustrating...

Also apologies if the images are stupid huge, never posted any here before.

Damn... that sucks.

Sorry to see this. Glad you are ok

Autocon · 09-04-2014, 01:41 PM

Fucking sucks :/

This is why texting and driving should be first a 1000 dollar fine, and the second time, a day in jail to really cement the fact that you can kill someone while your texting LOL YOLO SWAG. Glad your ok

something like this happened to me in my old car,

only think i enjoyed about it was the fresh paint job and a clear bra installed after the work was done lol

sorry that happened to ya man

Thanks for the condolences everyone. I've been trying to amuse myself by mentally adding up the cost of replacement parts. Anybody know the prices for a new bumper, driver's side headlight and driver's side fender? I figure those at the bare minimum need to be replaced. The good news is that no one was hurt and that I can at least still drive it.

this might be time for some nice CF goodies,

in some cases, aftermarket CF Hood are cheaper than OEM style hoods

sklimo · 09-04-2014, 01:58 PM

The bitch does have insurance I hope

find a good shop that know how to properly blend basecoat into adjacent panels so everything matches. Make sure entire panels get clear coated with no blends.

I lost sleep after I found a dent about the size of a dime after getting hit by some debris on the highway. Not sure what shape I would be in if this happened (probably in an alcohol induced pass out)!!!
Glad you are OK though.

Similar damage, impact area with deer though, Two CA bodyshops quoted 2700 without even popping the hood, my head lights are fine, not sure about yours

I found a few bumpers in the classifieds for Sale

New bumpers go for $250

Thankfully I already know a good place. They did an awesome job with my first run in with the curse (malfunctioning parking gate came down on my A pillar a month after I got the car). Blending was perfect. Now I just have to make sure her insurance will work with that shop...

Just keeping a positive attitude for now. I'm planning on showing at the local meetup tonight for giggles. I'm also thinking of pursuing a diminished value claim. I never have before, but the most expensive repairs I've ever had done to a car was around $1000. At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm well over that in parts alone. Anybody have any experience with that sort of thing?

Looks pretty much a bolt on repair which is good.
