Man! your car is beautiful, sorry about the accident but now u gotta worry about the paint no matching, new sounds and squeaks maybe, and a lower resale value, that really sucks!

 

Sucks about the crash. Good thing your insurance is covering it all. Especially the grilles, I had mine replaced under warrenty because the paint was flaking off them really bad. The invoice I got was for over $1,800 to get new ones.

 

glad to see that youre planning something new with the car.. SO about that rs1 grill....

 

I had just about the same thing happen but it was not my fault, the girl came from my right and failed to look and see if there was some traffic coming towards her I was going about 35 and t-boned her.

My car looked just about the same as yours; it cost about 7K to get it fixed.

I had them replace EVERYTHING lol, and all the parts are from Toyota not some cheep replacements.

 

NICE Car Man! How did it go today with the parts?

 

You had better NOT SETTLE, until you have driven it a while after it has been fixed.. Seriously bro, you need to make sure everything is sound.. that is including your medical if you were injured. I was taken out of my car more for shock thatn anything (got hit in the rear by a car going 65, turned car sideways), and after about 3-4 , months i was having a bad catch in my neck, and everyonce in a while it comes back, never been the same again. I was fincve after the wreck, but my insurance tried to settle right away (totalled), but i found out later that since the accident wasnt my fault i could have got a brand new car PAID FOR, because of the type of accident i had. Seriously you need to make sure all you bases are covered, and NEVER EVER SIGN OFF on the rebuild of yopur car, no matter what. you have to make sure they dont BONDO the crap out of your car. BAD STUFF... Get your frame lasered to make sure it is not really bent. The laser wil make sure it is not. If it is, then it is totalled.... they tried to f me about that, and i made sure that it was all checked out. I had 2 adjusters look at it, the first one missed a whole bunch.. Get down there yourself, since you might know more of your vehicle than the adjuster, It took 2 adjusters to total my car. they were going to BONDO the crap out of it, and the frame was bent... BS, i siad and then they totalled it. If i knew then what i know now, i will get a lawyer if it wasnt my fault, to fight the insurance Co. I was entitled to alot more than what they paid off.

 

NOoooOOoooOOOoooOOOOoooooooooOOOOooOOooooooooooo....... wow, Sorry to hear that..

 

Hey Eric i finally got around to seeing the pics!!! call me an let me know how its going!!! I think i may be in town soon so i'll come out to see you!!!

 

-update-

Estimate was well over 6 grand... the car is finally in the shop and being torn apart and being worked on now... parts are being ordered and some have already arrived and are being put in.. Hopefully I'll be back up and better than ever by July... I went with a whole new body kit, new headlights, new HID kit, new fenders, new graphics, new audio system setup, and a whole new theme! I don't wanna give away too many details... but, the car will be 10x better than it was before the accident!

thanks for all the feedback and support, oh and insurance is covering EVERYTHING so the only thing that I have to pay MIGHT be the deductible, but I might get by that too!

 

Thats awesome!!! When its done i'll definatly come out to see it!!

 

That sucks I hope you had your aftermarket pieces covered on your insurance.

 

So happy to read the update.

Best wishes to you!
