LOL. Your the second person to ask about that. Sure i'll sell them both to you. Make me a reasonable offer. They other guy wanted the light with the sockets and pig tails. I was like sorry, i'am not cutting my wireharness. Oh yeah and they are both ok. Neither of them are broken.

Cool. Well, I don't need you to cut any harnesses. I just need the housing itself.

I really don't know how much to offer ya. What do you think??

holy smokes! sorry to see this. I was just bitching that someone scuffed my front bumper today...this sort of puts things in perspective. glad to see you weren't physically hurt, although emotional pain is just as bad.

No bodykit ju6ganutz. Emotional pain is right. It sucks not having my car. Especially driving this piece of crap rental.

Well insurance adjuster called me yesterday and told me that they are going to fix the car but the right side of the frame is bent down All because of some idiot that was drunk. So i told them that i didn't want the car anymore. So i'am going to call them tomorrow and discuss it with them again.

damnn.. shit that sucks. same thing happened to my '03 RSX Type-S not too long ago.. they gave me a piece of shit sky blue 4-door integra.. the rental wasnt that bad, but the interior was horrible, that shit was wreaking from all seats and even two bottles of febreeze didnt help at all.

drunk drivers are assholes. i had mine parked at my friends' apartment parking lot, then some drunk idiot hit the front engine, took the whole engine block with it, the windshield, gone, and the headlamp was on the other side of the parking lot. my friend's civic, his dad's accord exv6, and two other cars were all hit too. the kid started running, but got stopped by the apartment security. but now i drive a TL, so the pain's gone away, but the memory lives on.. i miss that little car..

hopefully you'll end up like me and get everything taken care of. good luck!

1fasttl since the car was registered in someones name did they get the guy that hit your car yet? I wouldnt want a car even if they unbend the frame it will never be the same, if the drivers insurance is being a pain about totalling your car if you call your insurance maybe they can help fight them for you, if not id sell the car as a salvage and just put the insurance check towards a new ride if thats possible

I'am on the phone as right now explaining to my insurance company that i don't want the car anymore. My car will never be the same. As for the driver that caused the accident i'am not sure if they cought him yet. I'am pretty much letting my insurance investigate it and they seem to have it under control. Just came from dropping off the wife at work and drove to the acura dealer and was looking at either a 05TL or another 03TL-S but this time with navi. As for them paying me it wouldn't be much cause i owe what the car is worth. So we'll see what happens in the next couple of days.

That is still in the works. If i don't get a 05TL i might just finish the project and sell it. But if i get another 03TL-S then we'll see what happens. The manifolds are done i just have to get the car to start doing the plumbing and soforth.

wow sorry to hear about this!

on the bright side judging from the pics atleast most of the damage is cosmetic and no major structural damage.
if the shop is good you will never know!
once again sorry man!

Did you file a complaint for diminish value (DV) againts the insurance company due to the lost in value of your car, because of the accident?

Nope already called them and they said nothing. I offered to take my car to them cause they are only about 20min away and offered to pay for material but they still told me no cause they need a minumum of 10 cars to make this hood.

Do a search in the blackmarket because someone was selling a CF hood back in october (not sure if he sold it.) Good luck and sorry to hear about your tragedy.

At first I thought it was a joke!
