Finally, Got her back...
I just got my 2004 NBP TL from the autobody shop today .. I missed her
. I didn't drive it for like 15 days and good grief, I didn't realize how good this car felt. I drove around a 2002 Toyota Tundra V6 .. absolutely no power, gas guzzler, and clumsy. Here are some pics of the new front end .. they did a really good job and I'm VERY impressed. The total cost of the repair was $4300, I hope the bitch who hit me pays dearly for this one

PS, I know it's not much to look at considering it's 100% stock .. mods coming when I can afford them .. I just spent $271.50 on books today .. there goes the AEM CAI.

bodyshop did an excellent job, and the car looks wonderful, especially since it's detailed. I would have them check out that white chip/dot by the lower grille on the driver side.... or is it a light reflection....

I think it's a light reflection. I made damn well sure before I signed off on the check it would be perfect
. Thanks for the compliments... I can't wax her for 60 days .. but I can wash!

I feel your pain. I just got my baby back last saturday. It was in the shop for 33 days ($7,800 in damages) bc of some stupid bitch not yielding when making a left turn. She held up very well and ZERO engine damage!

Wow ... that looks real bad lol. I had some older lady back into me doing 5 mph .. hood popped up a little bit, bumper smashed, no engine damage as well. Good to see the TL holds up nicely

yeah me and blackura_ny has had some damn bad luck with our rides. I bought it in march and it's been to the body shop twice already. The first time was in NY on the gothels bridge, friggen metal pipe smashed into my front lip and took out both fog lights. then a couple weeks later I parked my truck near this hotel by my work and I came out to find concrete damage, my entire truck was repainted (I actually had it repainted to match my tl-s, woohoo) and then about a month after I get my truck out of the shop this friggen lately drives in front of me, considering I was going about 45 when we colided I'm very happy at how well the front end absorbed the impact with no engine damage, no air bag deployment and most importantly no injuries... Thank you acura
