First picture post NOT what I wanted it to be!
Well I have been around the site for some time now. Got all my parts in the garage waiting to be placed on the car. But it looks like I wont be posting any pics on my Aspec kit or wheels on the ride in the near future.
I was on my way to work today someone decided to pull out from a turning lane into my lane of traffic. Of course she didn't look and admitted to it. Heres a pic of today's adventure.
My intake is anxiously awaiting water, snow, and sleet. Or anything mother nature decides to throw at her. haha
Once I get my ride back it should not take much time to complete the mods. More pictures of the mods to come.
BTW AM FTW!

Not really....
Don't worry, just glad you're ok. Damages don't seem to be very difficult to fix. No headlights damage from the looks of it so you're good there. You should be able to find a bumper on ebay or so for $99 or so and paint will be about $300 I'm guessing. Anyways, her insurance should probably be covering that so you should be fine with everything
her insurance should pay for every damage/repair.

Just waiting on my adjuster to call me back with the details. I dont plan to shell out one penny. Im not at fault. It doesnt look like there is damage to the light but there is some scuffing. Hoping to get the light replaced there are some slight imperfections anyway. I think Acura will put on my front lip too. Glad that one of my bumpers wont have that two tone effect haha.
Thanks for the feedback ladies and gents.

Hey... So long as you are alright, cars can always be fixed.
We just got my daughter's CR-V back from the bodyshop yesterday. It looks like a brand new car. She was hit on both sides so they had to repaint the whole car.
Your's will be good as new soon too.

Stillhere I was already doing some research I figured im looking at about $500 in parts and shipping. Thanks for the links was going the same route. I am definetly not doing the blue ribbon claim service. They offered to have a chevy dealer repair the vehicle and warranty the work for life of the vehicle. I am going take it to my local Acura dealer.
Would love to keep the check! Keep you all posted adjuster appointment on Tuesday morning.

Well after not having the TL since last Wednesday I have something to look forward to. Tomorrow morning I can pick up my ride. Positives: Insurance found the other party at fault, got a new headlight, bumper, and the whole front end reblended. Going from driving a TL to a Kia Spectra as a rental priceless. The spectra has lack of handling, power, and speed. I would not buy a Kia as a winter beater. Glad I can get out of the bucket and into a real car!
Will post some pics in the AM.
Was told to hold off for a few day before installing the front A-Spec just so the paint could cure.
