That sucks. But don't hate the car! Get it looked after and take it on a happy road trip. Cars have feelings too, you know

Chill, it's not that bad man. Just a back panel. I've driven salvage vehicles all my life and I've repaired worse than this.

Ask in the regional forum for a shop recommendation. The other driver foots the bill and your rental.

As long as you have a police report, the fix should go without a hitch.

Sorry to hear about the accident. At least you're alright and the car can be fixed.

BTW, how do you like your DPX501? Can you post up a picture? I was thinking of getting one before I got my Kenwood.

Definitely go after the insurance for loss in value as well as repairs.

That is horrible to hear as i've had many near accidents in parking lots due to elderly backin up. The worst thing about it is that once they see how young i am (22) they stare at me like it was somehow my fault and not theirs for reversing without looking. People like that FTL...

Well gl with your repair and perhaps it's time for that wide body kit I've...I mean You've always wanted Fast and the Furious FTW!!! hahaha

It hit the tire and the rim just a little bit .it drive fine not shake or anything .I hope it make no damage to the suspension.But I would like a new tire and a rim because the tire get cut with the panel .

The radio sound amazing I like it and look good on the dash look like part of it.Don't have the port to connect the steering controls but I use one that work copying the remote signal using the steering wheel,but is a little bore because it don't has all those colors and background lights on the display Just the clock, station ,and the name of the song .

actually a van damn near merged into me on the highway today... but anyways

there is no way to pound that out and throw bondo over it, and I would not take it to someone who says they can do it. you need a new panel. no question, unless you want them to frankenstein the piece by welding the better parts of a few busted pieces.
