Midnight_TL

As we were getting ready to leave the restaurant last night, one of my friend's friend comes back inside and asks "who drives the TL?" I say "I am...what's up bro?" And then he goes "Dude I'm really sorry, but I accidentally hit you"

So we both stroll outside and examine the damage. It isn't TOO bad, but it definitely sticks out like a sore thumb. The guy was VERY nice and so in getting my car fixed, I want to make this work out the best for both of us.

So here's where you guys come in. Does anybody have any suggestions on websites...sources...places I could go to get this fixed? part of the bumper got hashed up pretty hard and so re-painting seems out of the picture. I want to completely get the stock bumper replaced and also the A spec rear lip. So if anybody has any good, inexpensive sources where I can get the stock bumper and the A spec rear lip...I would HIGHLY appreciate that! Thanks guys!

OH...SORRY I DON'T HAVE PICTURES YET...I'LL TAKE SOME AND UPLOAD THEM TONIGHT OR TOMORROW MORNING...

I would expect your friend's friend to pay for the damage, so you should bring the car to your Acura dealer. Does your dealer do body work? If not, you should find out where they send customers for body work, and make sure that shop uses OEM parts.

^^ Uh, he said he wasn't trying to screw the guy...which means, no dealer involvement.


I'm guessing you're going to swap the parts yourself, it's just a matter of getting them at the best price, right? You could contact Tim at HondaAcuraWorld and see what he and do for you. However, you might want to go to a body shop to see what they could do...they might be able to fix it without bumper replacement (without pics - I know, they're forthcoming - it's hard to know).
