Hey Guys,

Like the title says, I had an accident over the weekend. Long story short, I got T-boned, but most of the damage is to the front, driver side fender/ wheel area and front bumper & headlight and also a little damage to the door as well. IMO, I think they're probably gonna replace the fender and possibly even the bumper, and definately will need a new headlight [which will also have to be re-done by JnC ].

My question is: Should I order an 07-08 Bumper and have them put on the a-spec kit for that, or should I just have them replace everything back to the way it was? My only real concern are fitment issues with my current headlights. Does anyone know if I will have any problems with this?

2nd Question: Anyone know of any good body shops in the Philly area [preferably the suburbs of philly]?

Also what sucks is I just go my switchback led's and white side-marker mod done, which are now busted.

Any advice is appreciated, and Pics will be up tonight!

Thanks in advance!

 

Sorry to hear that Mike, as discussed let me know when you get the headlight.

Also, the bumper shouldnt be a problem for your headlights AFAIK.

 

Anyone know if there is a difference in cost between the 07-08 bumpers/aspec kit and the 04?

04-05 bumper info

 

Thanks JnC! There is almost little to no price difference. Hopefully, the adjuster will give me some cushion to work with, and maybe I can get some fogs too...=)

 

 

Here are the pics as promised. I didn't get a chance to take daytime pics, but these are from my camera phone on the night of the accident:

 

from the pics, it looks like the front lip is ok, so actually it would be nice to get a new bumper and painted fresh.

 

Yeah, lip does look ok now that I look at it. Maybe I can get them to repaint my grille while they are at it

 

Ouch! I never saw a damaged WDP

 

mike auto body in castor ave..in the northeast philly..is very good...tell him jimmy with m3 sent you there and they will take good care of you and your car.

 

Thanks for the recommendation hitech. Do you think they would have a problem doing what I want as far as replacing my 04 parts with 07 if it is covered under the insurance company?

 

talk to jason at mike auto body....i don't think he have a problem with it. just tell him u want 07 part instead of 04...part price should be the same
