Default My new body kit (gory picture inside)

I get my sway bars put on thursday night and I go to pick up the car friday morning. I was really excited. I had been looking forward to this for the past two weeks. I had plans to drive up to CT for easter to see my family.

First turn I get hit by someone.

The other driver is going to show up at your door with a pile of cash? You certainly are more trusting than I am.

Don't take a pile of money, again DO NOT.

Why? because chances are there's a lot more damage then what you think, there's no way to give him a price on fixing it until AFTER a body shop starts to remove body parts.

a $3000.00 job could easily turn into a 5-6-7K job.

Yeah I know all the hassles I will be having. I know you guys will of course have plenty of "advice". I just wanted to share my pain. My GF and family dont understand why im so angry so I needed some sympathy from Mid A peeps!!

I hope this will be a pretty painless fix but im doubting it.

You seem young from your OP so I was trying to make sure you were not going to get screwed.

29 brother. I seem young? Ah must have been the high school comment. I was referring to the old school roads I used to try to beat curfew on. A long time ago it seems. Again thanks man.

I really didnt want to have to deal with this accident. ugh.

Sorry for this Grizz - that does suck. This may be partly my fault. I touched your car while it was at Hill's and some of my FAIL may have rubbed off on it

If you get any BS from the insurance company remember these words, "My neck and back hurt, I'm going to see a doctor". Your car will get fixed ASAP and you will have a rental in no time.

Find a good shop to do the work. Some douchebag hit my rear quarter and left a nice dent in my right after I got it, never found out who did it. I found a shop that massaged the metal to get the dent out so they used little or no bondo on it. Work was worth every pennie
