had an accident and after 3 weeks I got my car back. Props to Luther Collison and Glass for great work...

what was replaced
engine cradle (used)
mud guards (I got the other 3 new ones in the car)
front exhaust pipe
front bumper
passenger side LCA
A/C condenser (it's the only thing that said parts am next to it)
road lights
tow hook
plash shield
several gaskets (for body panels i guess)
new side glass / matching tint
R roof rail
R rocker moulding
R front add for jamb (what is that?)
R front door assembly

they fixed the following

R door shell
R door outside
R door panel
R front fender

Repaint and blend entire passenger side of car and rear bumper

I get in my car to drive home and it felt like I was driving a brand new car...wow it was not loose at all and everything was perfect.... all of the VIN stickers are where they should be except for the bumper that was totally mangled.

Will post of pic later

 

 

Any before shots?

The bumper is sagging just slightly. Thats an easy fix though.

 

No not any that are not already posted. lmme see if i can dig some up. I will take it to them next week and have them fix that though.

 

Yep, bumper is definitely sagging under the passenger headlight. Other than that, looks good.

 

the bumper is probably sagging because the clip under the light is bent. easy fix. bend it up

 

how do I do that? I think I will just let them fix it.

 

i dont see what was a dmg for that accident you had for real

 

In order to avoid a person running a red light I curbed my car and went into a ditch

 

congrats on getting the car back. treat it well

 

I have had it for quite some time and I do take good care of it. I drive it gently and I average 23 city and 32 highway....based upon the current wear patterns, my tires will easily last to about 85K miles

 

I like the way they painted the new bumper......now you cannot tell that it is a TypeS is sneaking up on you :P

 

Yea, I prefer the painted lower grille of the 03s as well.

 

Looks good as new, congrats on getting it back

 

^ thank you and the car drives like it was new as well. I cannot believe the improvement in how it drives.......

I was happy that they were able to save my fender and door and they will fix the bumper on thursday as well.

I tell you what that colbalt was bad news in the snow storm last week. The CL-S does SO MUCH BETTER in the snow.....

 

Turns out that they put a TL bumper on the car lol so from the front it looks like a TL but from the rear it looks like a CL-S

 

so u have a tl front bumper? not possible

99-01 tl dont have fog lights like that
02-03 have a diff layout of the headlights, small dimple below the headlight and the grill surrounding is diff.

and now im lost.

 

looks like a cl bumper to me.

 

^thats what im say but i think the op is saying he got a tl bumper.

 

this is a CL bumper



This is a TL



The bumper is definately closer to the second one

 

hmmmm i think OP is right

 

U have the cl bumper. Tl's don't have that wing thing where the grill is and don't bulge down on the bottme like the cl does (under the fog lights). Also the tl doesn't have those kind of fogs nor does the tip of the tl bumper come out as much. I've compared my bumper to the 99-01 tl bumper side by side just for u. U have a cl front bumper. End of discussion

 

take a closer look, that is NOT a CL bumper
CL bumper is smooth on the bottom and has a V shaped opening instead of a square one...... that bumper is ____/---------\____ shaped on the bottom and has a square opening.

 

btw, the first 3 pix are with a fuji F51d 12mp camera, the 4th and 5th were with a Blackberry 8100 and the last one is with a LG KM900 phone with a 5mp camera on a overcast day.

 

02-03 acura tl front bumper


99-01 tl front bumper



does ur bumper look anything like those?

 

looks like a cl bumper to me, can I have what you are smokin?

 

lol u dudes are blind.....you cannot tell the difference between the two bumpers on the car? Do I have to circle the differences? I know what my car looked like before and after and that bumper is NOT a CL bumper...... it is some aftermarket part that is modeled off of a TL......btw I did provide acura part references so you would know what one was closer....

 

whats different between urs and 02-03


whats different between urs adn 99-01

 

Never mind they painted it wrong...

 

they painted mine the same way as urs

 

Thats what I said up above.

They painted it wrong for the 01-02s, but its how the 03s are painted.

 

i see. ok they then mine is right?

 

Yup.
