I recently got rear ended and today I received a check for

$933.78

to rent a car for the period of time the body shop estimated for my car..

but guess what....

I DON'T NEED A RENTAL!

So what do you guys think I should md on my car?

Sound system is done..
Got springs..
Have rims..
Intake is on..

im thinking about making a custom magnaflow exhaust.. but what do do with the other 600 or so dollars?

Don't say SEND IT TO ME! either

Any suggestions??

Exhaust! or start saving for the S/C.

flvol77

Custom Magnaflow exhaust around $550.00
UR Pulley $200.00
AEM intake $200.00
---------------------------------------------------
$950.00------------> Very nice mods

i'd say do the exhaust, then save the rest of the money.

Na i got quoted for only 300-350 for the magnaflow exhaust piping and mufflers

i already have an AEM intake.

don't really want to spend the money on the pulleys...

jesus, how long are is you car supposed to be in the shop? my insurance company gives me a tootsie roll and lets me look at a dodge neon - and im pretty convincing.

i would call your insurance company... that way your not stealing....... or tint the windows and get remote start......and save the rest

what insurance do you use? wouldn't you have to verify that you used that check to rent a car (provide insurance with receipts of the car rental) instead of using it for buying other things?

and just to answer your question, i'd probably gamble it all in texas hold 'em.

Exhaust


Clear your Headlights...and smoke your tails and sidemarkers...

If i were you my top prioriety would be to get some koni shocks, those oem's will eventually go bad. Then you would have about $200 left you can use that for 1. savings 2. Christmas 3. Buy a nice bottle of champange for new yrs. 4. and the best option donate it to me via pay pal (had to say it)

No, it's not being handled through my insurance. The person that hit me uses AAA, and all they did was hand me a check and said good luck

Toys for tots?

Mizouse

since you have intake, i say get some headers and exhaust

TCMS

Do the exhaust, either save some money doing the magnaflow, or buy the comptech exhaust.

I would get the comptech because Im stupid.

Y.O TL

Go to the casino to a roulette table and put 500 on red!! If you win, you made another $500.00. If you lose, you still have enough for the magnaflows


....Never mind, i just realized you are only 18. But it was worth the thought.

flvol77

are they SS mufflers? cause the muffler alone cost 111.89 each and the resonator costs around 60.00

NFLblitze1

there are no headers for the TL

$933.78 sounds like an awful lot of money for a rental. Before you deposit that check or do anything with it, I would make sure that it isn't supposed to cover the repairs. All those mods sound great but if you have to pay for them all out of pocket, or have to pay for the repairs out of pocket because you used the money to mod your car, I don't think you are going to be all that thrilled. You should talk with the body shop and/or the AAA office that cut you the check.

My $.02,

I'd give it to the missus. It'd make her happy.

we should have a down pipe soon

Thats not a lot considering how long it takes the collision center to fix my car.. AAA gave me 32.99 dollars per day plus tax and the collision center quoted them about 30 days to complete...

The other check for the repairs is around $4800, rental is a different check addressed to me.

I think ill just get the exhaust done and save the rest...


btw has anyone tried the rockblocker light protection film for the headlights in blue or yellow? i saw a 350z today with the blue film and i think it looks pretty nice... not sure how its going to look on our TL though.. its only 49.99 on the site


btw to flvol...

im not getting a resonator.. just straight through 2.25 piping to the y and then to two SS mufflers with stock tips..

NBP04TL4ME

Congrats to you!!! Sounds like you lucked out, but it also sounds like a long time for a repair. Hope they do it right.

flvol77

U got a hell of a deal. I went 2.5 from cat to Y then 2.25 to mufflers. with a resonator...in all I was around 500-550

AMIC

Wow! $4800 and 30 days. That must have been some rear-end accident. Get hit by a semi?

got hit by a LIFTED toyota tundra..

dang.. i shouldve said my neck has pains or something

VelfarreClubber

naw don't pull bs like that with unless your neck does hurt, I was about to be a financial planner and took insurances courses.. stuff like that causes insurance to be expensive which is what you see now and the past few years.

Mizouse

ohh didnt realize this was the 3G TL community

you guys are in the same situation as us 1Gers, no headers, but im sure you guys will end up getting them

nasriaz

How about you donate it to someone that needs it more then you. There are so many unfortunate children who have nothing for chirstmas this year. $900 buys A LOT of presents. Just a thought.

TL'n IT UP

Where did you go for that price? Name, Phone? I wonder how much labor is..

XtraKrispy

Convert the money into dollar bills...or better yet quarters. Take a roll of packaging tape and line up 8 foot strips. Line the quarters up on the strips of packaging tape until you have a full strip of quarters. Use these strips as "bumper" protectors for your car or "door ding" protectors. LOL.


I actually would get tint. What about a NAV to DVD player conversion?

1sweetTL

I say you get the exhaust for both mine and your TL done...
C'mon help a fellow Chino Hiller brother out!

Or shit at least invite out for a piece of Pizza from Costco.

NFLblitze1

Hopefully they will......remedy this...but from what people say....the headers are welded to the engine bay...tsk tsk but lets hope

pinky_ttc

That's so cute.

Mizouse

how you doin?

faxmonkey

I say your intentions are nice and heartfelt, but i'm tired of donating to Katrina/Red Cross/Toys for Tots/Children Hospitals and on top of that the Salvation Army keeps taking my change. I say with all due respect.....screw the children.

VelfarreClubber

wow this actually made me laugh out loud

nasriaz

Same here. Even though it was against something I recommended, I understand where he is coming from though. This year, it's like every other week we are donating to some cause. I need donations to donate now.

I'd rather have a non-hit car and get a check for ZERO dollars!

1sweetTL

I'd rather be rich, instead of so good looking!

Ha,ha,ha,ha
