Accident :(

colin frowney bracket:


I parked my car in front of my house and some asswipe came and hit it and ran. Called my agent and set up the claim. I'll try to get pics up, but basic description:

Damage from the driverside rear quarter panel from the gas cap down. Rear bumper and rear left tire was also hit. Thankfully they missed the door and didn't bend the frame.


Damnnnit. I hate St. Louis, hello move to Greenwich, CT.

I had almost the exact same thing happen in a parking lot to my old Integra, some lady pulled into angled parking from the wrong entrance and ran directly in the driverside rear quarter. She actually walked away and did her shopping, had to wait for her to come out. She didn't have valid insurance and was on this local graduated licensing program and wasn't even supposed to be driving at this time of day. I didn't like the car all that much anyhow, got it repaired by insurance company and then traded it in for my current car '96 2.5TL.

If you are having it fixed, make sure they do that plastic bumper correctly, otherwise paint won't stick and will start to peel if another car simply rubs against it. I know from experience.

Thanks man, ok pics are being posted in my gallery...so I need a few ideas:

Should i spend extra money and get inspire taillights to replace the bad one? Anyone know the part cost of a rear taillight?

What should I do about the rim?

colon frowney bracket again

$1600 to fix all damage. Tail light costs $200 alone and it will take 5 days. Def taking it around for more bids. Click on the gallery if you want to see the damage
