On the way to school today, I was driving down the access road to the highway and a car turned into the feeder road, cut across all three lanes, and hit me in the side. Luckily, no one was hurt and his car already had hail damage. Needless to say, I'm a bit upset about my car, but at the same time it'll be nice for the Cl to get a bit of fixing up.

How much do you guys think this damage is? Would the whole car need to be repainted?

Onto the pics:

 

Damn, that sux man. I hope it was ruled their fault. Brings a tear to the eye to look at. At least this didn't happen to your car.

Damn that does sux. I am no body repair expert but it looks as if it would several thousand dollars, but at a second glance it looks like it only effects the fender, door panel, and mirror. How does the hood look?

 

always sucks to see a cl get nicked up like that. Hopefully the other guy has wads of $$$ to pay and repair your baby back to factory new

They will need to paint that whole side and depending on the shop, paint the whole car

 

that's after they replace at least the fender and door panel, at the LEAST

 

since our cars have such low value...they will total the car....jk

man that sucks....i feel bad enough with my nicks and scratches...i want some one to nick my bumber so i can get them repainted...

if it happend to me i would get the whole car painted and pay the difference

 

that's a great idea.

 

That sucks!!!

I would hate for that to happen to my CL.
Hope everything turns out on the positive side for you.

 

DAMN THAT SUCKS!!!!

find a good shop that will work with you, minus well paint the whole car after they work the body...replace the fender and all that good stuff.

BODY WORK + PAINT! + LABOR!!!! =$$$$$ MUCHO DINERO$$$$$$

sucks to see that... well Good luck hope everything works out for you

 

that does suck....repaint the whole car for sure...

 

just because u got hit there doen't mean that only that got affected, when i got rearended i had creases that went into the doors and on the roof, well to get it all out and fix it right they had to repaint the whole car at the cost of the other guy, if it is ruled not be your fault ypu may just get away with a brand new paint job for nothing. my good luck and do i hate to see that happen to cars.

 

AS3.0CL is right, if is ruled not to be your fault you might just get a brand new paint job for free...well at the expense of having got into an accident...a friend of mine did the same thing, he was rear ended and got a free paint job

 

thats what im lookin for^

and there was a week a 2 months ago that every day someone would nearly cause an accident with me.

Entirely thier fault. would not yield was most cases...and they would then honk at me..and do stupid stunts that would cause more accidents....

while i would just 'smile and wave'

people these days...

 

ouch man that sucks. i would have been tempted to kill someone if they did that to my baby. i hope he is picking up the tab on that one.

 

id say around 2500$-3000$... most places will not paint the entire car under insurance. make sure when u get it fixed that u tell them to use origional oem honda parts. the aftermarket crap doesent fit for shit. and if they try that whole lkq shit (like kind quality, pretty much used out of a junk yard.) throw a fit, and ull get the og stuff. thats what i did. but then again im pretty anal about prescious. and dont let them try to fix your fender, it will look like crap after they bondo it. good luck slim...

 

id say upwards of 4Gs. i got backd into and all it did was dent the rear bumper and chipped the taillight very slightly. all together it was gonna be 1000 for a new bumper paint and new taillight. i just had them fix the bumper and i pocketed the 400 they were gonna charge me for a taillight. the taillight is not noticable until you get RIGHT up on it so i was like fuck it, ill buy an intake and catback. but youll need a new mirror door panel front QP possibly a new window.

 

that would be a fender. the quarter pannel is in the back.

 

Well, the guy admitted to it (and he was really nice about it), so basically I have an appointment to meet the insurance adjuster at a local body shop (Custom Car Crafters) next Friday. From what I've heard, they do really awesome work, so hopefully I'll get the whole thing custom painted and join the "elite."

I was thinking either Satin Silver Metallic, IS300 Graphite, or this one SUPER metallic black from the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'll keep everyone posted. BTW, thanks for all the kind words and advice.
