ouch! that sucks, looks easily fixable though, and at least those hood louvers weren't damaged, those seem to be getting really expensive now. beautiful car though, any before pics?

Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop
aww man dat sucks i feel for ya, its unbelieveable how stupid people seem to drive sometimes.
at least the harder to find parts (front clip, hood louvers) are saveable
good luck fixin her back up
Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop
heres a couple of befores... there not the best but the easiest to link up right now haha i got plenty more if you wanna see others... n when it came to the parts the front bumper cover was the hardest to find... but for some reason they had 16 brand new gm OEM front ends lying in the middle of michigan chevy dealer ((NOTE THAT haha))... the insurance company gave me 5 grand for repairs so i went with all brand new gm parts expensive but worth it... now im just tryin to find a good body shop

Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop
ya like mine...lol...but yeah...that doesnt look like a bad fix at all....hood fender and straighten the door...throw a new bumper on it....and call it a day...might need a new header pannel since they are crazy brittle....but in any case good luck...once they take it apart then you will know what it really needs
Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop
C-Titan - ur right about the bumper now that i think about it, wen i had to replace mine i was only able to find 1 in decent condition in all toronto lol, none new.
yea it funny the thing people say after they hit you its like there on another planet, wen i got hit about 5 minutes later the guy was tryin to sell his battery to people who were gathered round watchin lol
Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop
dam dude that sucks the same thing happend to my camaro when my sister owend it but the guy was goin right from the center lane and she sweved jumped a crub and blew a tire not even nearly as bad as what happend to u even after my stupid cousin tryed to chang the tire but didnt know that it had locking lug nuts so he striped them and had to get it tow and the guy that ran her off the road stop for a second then just drove off

BTW...like the wheels, but don't not a big fan of the painted louvers!
I never drive it in the snow, let alone rain... Shes always been garage kept... But when i first bought the car, the guy who had it before me treated it like ****... Louvers were a primer black, speakers were drilled into the floor, pink rims, bad boy stickers etc etc, it was bad haha... so i ended up treating the paint and painting the louvers n the top lip of the spoiler a 3 stage black... it looks crazy sexy in person... its won a few awards, but with the new paint comin i dont know if i should just dip it or keep with the black accents that i have

I'll see what I can find in your area, I work in the industry but I don't know many shops down your way.
thanx man... i dont trust anyone with my car... thats why im lookin for a professional with a good rep... i want it perfect again not some half assed maaco ****

From the pictures the fender is f...ed anyway. Pull it out and let a thirdgener fix the car right.
Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop
word, im all for that... but a car so attractive as a thirdgen should not be seen in dispare like that... i'd have to put a sign on the back window that says "Not My Fault" just so i dont get the evil eye for wreckin a nice car... On a 2 hour trip, thats alot of nasty looks... definitly if a fellow third-gener pulls near me haha
Re: Accident Aftermath (pics)... Lookin 4 a Body Shop
