Life just isn't fair to me anymore... some asshole ran into the back of me today!!!!








there goes 800+ for the bumber and another 400 for paint.... and who knows how long it will take to be shipped from japan. SHould i get the insurence involved or let the kid pay me for it?

 

[FromDaStreetz]

as long as he actually pays you

 

[solomaster2002]

if he actually pays you dont bother to get the insurance involved
being a kid myself i would much rather pay someone than have my insurance ruined over a small matter like this.

can the kid afford 1200???

 

[Tonuch]

idk if he can he offered i told him its about 1500 and said if i have to pay you ill pay ya

Shipped from Japan? You do know there are plenty of MK3's in the states with bumpers on them that will work just fine right? And they won't cost anywhere near 800 bucks.

I hit my rear bumper and got a perfectly good one from the junkyard for $50.

Unless you get a new one, in which case it'll cost quite a bit more. If the other person is paying for it, I would get it new.

 

[Tonuch]

this is the kaze aero craft bumber... if you know anyone in the states that has one for less then 800... please let me know

Edit again: damnit he beat me to sayin his bumper isnt stock


Edit: Wow... more pics of your car.. Paint looks awesome :bigthumb:

theres the forum right after the kit was on and

www.cardomain.com/id/tonuch

has a few pictures with my rims on it

 

[Jeff Lange]

Heh, I'm stupid and didn't realize the pics could be enlarged by clicking on them, I was squinting at the screen trying to tell if it was aftermarket or not.

Yeah, that sucks...

Good luck.

 

[Trent]

Yeah from the pics I couldn't tell it was aftermarket. My bad. Looked stock from the back.

 

[bptotheeng]

damn dude...that sucks...hope you can get that fixed up in a hurry...btw...your pait job looks flawless!!

 

[lenny]

Why noy have it repaired?

 

[Tonuch]

id if it will look right if i repair it....

thanks bptotheeng, but there are flaws in the paint.... i think im going to reshoot the front bumper. if scratched that up a bit so... atleast ill be able to do that too...

 

[Jeff Lange]

Yeah, a good body place should be able to get it looking like it did when it was new... I'd go that route if I was you.

 

[supra-n/a]

Yep- Find a good body shop.

 

[Tonuch]

why a body shop when i did the whole thing my self? paint and all

 

[BlackDevilSupra]

The bumper appears to be fiberglass. Any shop skilled in working with fiberglass should be able to relay new sheets to repair the damage.
At first, one may not envision the repair and repaint to be costly, that's untill the repair quotes are gathered - then you may be surprised. Therefore, I hope you received a police report in case the efforts from your insurer is necessary. Personally, I don't trust people to follow thru on relinquishing money for such things as automotive damages to someone elses car - they may just suddenly disappear. A police report and a call to the insurer is always a comforting ultimatum.

Good luck...

 

[supra-n/a]

Then you should be able to fix it no?
