Freaking people. Can't keep a car clean these days. Have you contacted your insurance?

justnspace 06-25-2015 01:08 PM

you got backed into?

You are very lucky the damage was not that bad! A bodyshop can pull those panels back into place and buff off the hood. You'll get a new headlight out of this! You can use this as an opportunity to get some Cleared/custom headlights done and installed by your bodyshop! Also you can use this opportuinity to upgrade to better HID bulbs, replace the turn signals (they'll probably go out in a year or two) and while your at it, add HID fog bulbs.

It's a huge silver lining for you! Maybe you can get the bodyshop to order you a front A-Spec kit too! I can't be certain about your bumper since the photo isn't detailed enough. They might refinish it if the mounting tabs are still intact.

Bumper: $500 (for paint & labor)
Headlight: $100-$1000 (depending on what route you go
Hood: $100 (labor)
Fender: $100-200 (labor)
HID Bulbs: $35-130 (XB35 or Osram CBI's that are the best HID bulbs on the market now)
Turn Signals: $10 on amazon
A-Spec Front: $350 or less
HID Fogs: $50-100

Sorry to see this happen to you. Good luck with the repairs.

MarcDavidoff 06-25-2015 01:32 PM

That does suck! Hope you get it fixed easily enough

Boogsephine 06-25-2015 01:38 PM

That sucks! Hey, like other people said though.. you can get some custom headlights now and do what I did when I scratched my back bumper up -- ASPEC kit!

Your car has more cameras and hit and run thingamajigs than a Russian Lada. :tomato:

It's always after something like this happen you wish you had a dash cam though.

Some people are pure scumbags man.. I'd be pissed off to hell and back

jeepthing 06-26-2015 12:48 PM

Yeah, according to my body shop guy, it's all easy work and I might be able to do all the work myself, but that headlight housing is cracked inside and out. I'll be weighing my options Monday with him. I doubt it's worth my insurance going up to have them fix it. I'll look around at custom headlights, but I was quite fond of the stock ones lol.

[Blank] 06-26-2015 10:33 PM

pulling out headlights were a total Beazy for me when I did mine. UGH.

How would that help? Isn't it off anyways while the car is parked?

There's park mode on some cameras but you have to use the a battery discharge prevention device that is hard wired to your car.

I had my first tl sideswiped and totalled. The person would have driven off because he had no license. But his gf car was undrivable and she hurried over and took the blame for the accident. Thankfully they had insurance. Glad to see yours was mostly superficial. She will be good as new.
