Okay, I wake up this morning to find out that my car was hit last nite. I had let my lil cuzzin borrow the TL for his damn prom and next thing I know, I'm f*#&ed in the ass. His dumbass didn't even know that the car got hit until I told him. Imagine the look on his face when he realize that I was not joking. I just blacked out the headlights and put in HID earlier this week too! Dammit!!! Pics will be posted soon.

Damn that sucks.
I was pissed at my mom cause she used my car for a day and it came back with a bunch of new rock chips up front.
Hit by another car though, that sucks pretty bad. Good luck with insurance if you go through it. If it was hit at prom, see if the place has any cameras on the parking lot, maybe they have a tape of who hit it. It's worth the try.

The damage doesn't seem too bad, but it is frustrating. I let my sister borrow my car and I guess when she had it valet parked they fucked up the passenger side, mostly the front door and some of the rear door. No one noticed because it was at night and my car is black. When I woke up the next morning to go to work and I saw my car I was like O_O. But if you leave the car dirty it isnt noticeable, but who can stand a dirty black car...they should always be clean

TL no more!
Ouch!!! I'm sorry to hear about your little accident. But nice headlights and taillight mods!! I love the HID's. Do you mind taking a picture of the beam pattern at night against the wall??
In regards to insurance, you will have to file it under collision. So you have to pay your deductible and they will fix the car for you. In NC, the limit is at $1,800 and the rates won't go up. If the damage is more than $1,800, then your premium will definitely go up. But here's the catch, if you have another accident or anything that will make you to file a claim in collision within the next three years, then the insurance company will figure in this claim AND the claim you'll be make sometime down the road and then you'll definitely be fucked.
How do I know?? I was in the same position with my front bumper. Some a-hole, I'm guessing a pickup truck or SUV with a trailer hitch, backed into my front bumper at a parallel space. The damage is around $600. I talked to my insurance and told me the same story stated above. Thankfully, the damage was right where the front license plate is located so all I have to do is to buy a license frame and bracket and buy myself a nice Acura or NC State license plate and it will cover the damage.
I'm soooooo ghetto.

yeah, i really was worried about my insurance and didn't want it to go up so I never did file a claim for my damage. Anyone have an idea of what vandalism falls under? A while back someone egged my car and the cop told me I could file a claim with the insurance and I was wondering what kind of a claim it would be.
Hopefully the bumper isn't too messed up because I can tell you a bumper+paint and install is about 900 bucks, I had it done at a Orange County Honda World.

The bumper is just scrapped and a little paint job would take care of it. The only thing that's bad is the dent. Looks like i'll have to pay out of my own pocket cuz deductibles from my insurance will be just as much as getting it done at a local shop and like Wolfpackbill said, if I file another collision claim within 2-3 years, my premium would go up. Damn this sucks!
