damn man, that really sucks. doesn't that just **** you off when someone backs into you? can you get a new quarter panel?

 

what the @%#

 

Well at least you didn't wreck the whole side of it in the rain like me. I feel for ya man. keep the hope and make her better than ever. Who would have thought my 35,000 mile full bolt on baby would instantaneously become my first real project car

 

Hey Bubba, now we're matching buddies, hehe. I had a tanker trailer come into my lane and it did about the same damage only in two spots. Yours is definitely fixable....did you get out of the car holding your neck??

 

i think i may need a new quarter.....my painter is coming over tonight to look at it....yeah its fixable but it just the point that it happened.....pat....i came out of the car holding a fist......

 

geeeeeeez.....looks like they didnt know when to stop sorry to hear that bro

 

could be worse...

 

ur 1/4 looks better then mine, and the body guy said that mines fixable

 

Man that blows

 

Easy fix but still sucks it got hit

 

So are you going to go ahead and do the bumpers and ground effects while you're at it?

 

thats sucks!!!!! i feel your pain:lala:
checks door for dent

 

man that sucks.

 

Man that sucks Hopefully the other persons insurance will cover the repairs and the addititon of GFX's and a new paintjob

 

I believe NJ is the worst state to get into a accident in. Insurance is so messed up here, I feel for you dude. You may have remembered my post a while ago when I got hit with my old bird. Hope everything goes well

 

that sucks man im sory to hear. But thats sure fixable, just be glad its not worse

 

THATS BLOWS CHUNKS!!!!

SLP IROC-Z..

what happened there with ur car? OUCH.

 

That has to suck, i would bleed their insurance company dry.....

 

im sorry man, my condolences, at least it isnt totaled!!!

 

zo6.. a lady took a left on red and went right into me, i ahte people.

 

That sucks it Bubba. Sorry to hear man . I saw your car @ TR2 and the paint/body was mucho sweet. I know you were trying to sell it, and changed your mind… but it was meant to be this way. now you have your excuse to do the GFX

 

cant that be fixed with out replacing the rear quarter.thats sucks but it could be worse, when i first read the heading i thought ur car got totalled.

 

Dam bubbz... hey... that iroc had a pretty good passanger side quater... you think'n what im think'n? dam man... i guess because its august now.. had to be something... every month man.. every month... where (location) did he hit you? when you were coming out of work? I would of whaled on that sob in that truck... i bet that focker didnt even have a fleck of paint chip off... fuggin trucks... see bub.. that is why trucks suck... sports cars are way better hehehe!

 

well i got the estimate today.....about 1233.00.....my painter says that he can pull it....im gonna talk to him more tonight about it.....hopefully with the 1200 i get from insurance, i can get the gfx painted too.......
another idea that rolled through my head.....my painter said to match good he would have to paint the pass side to about the door and paint the decklid......so i was thinking......hey, 91 gfx...maybe high rise??....so he was tellin me about a paint scheme of getting a different shade of pearl white and making it go from the rear and fading into the front.....what do u guys think of that....i cant really imagine it....anyone have any pics of something like that??

 

sorry to hear about that... :-(

if i were you, i would keep it one solid color, the color you have. i dont like fading stuff... but thats just my opinion. i definately vote for the 91-92 groundeffects if your going to get some... hahaha.

good luck man

 

Bub just stay with the pearl u have now becuz i saw a civic (all the typlical stuff) with 2 different pearls like how ur discribing it and it didnt like it one bit, i think it looks ugly.

 

there ya go...

Get the Z28 high rise, and don't do the fading idea, stay one color......

 

Hi Guys

What bit of S.T.O.P don't people understand?
For $995 you could always get this kit:

Take care, be good
Sara Lou

 

that kit isnt for a daily driver. i know someone who has it and they replace ur entire 1/4 panels, fenders, bumper and nose all friberglass. u dont want to get hit again with that. and plus after u get that done u MUST get sfc or eles ull crack the rocker panels (the fiber glass ones) becuz of the torque fromthe motor. i mean its a nice kit very nice but if its for a daily driver and ur in a heavy area where u know ull be hit its not worth it

 

i hope the color will just match up...........by the way that kit is horrid

 

yeah, it looks like crap

 

mine was on my birthday, and i got a ticket, and almost lost my liscense over it, but the damage isn't too bad, but i think the whole front piece and fender will have to be replaced.

 

That sucks man I know its fixable, but like u said matching that pearl is gonna be real hard if not impossible. My car is a custom color also and i'd hate too imagine trying to match it.

On a side note, I almost got hit by a lady not paying attention at the gas station the other day. I'm rolling thru and she puts her car in drive, floors it! right towards my pass. side and locks the brakes up! Missed me by less than an inch! I got out, cussed her out, told her she had a deathwish and if she didn't learn how to drive she would be taking driving lessons in hell. I just went off bad. Forgot my meds that day i think

 

Goddam, i don't come here often anymore, but whenever i do, there's always a post about a totalled 3rd-gen.

Real sorry to hear about it Bub.

I just lost my GTA 6 months ago and i miss it alot, insurance will definatley jerk you around, you just gotta keep callin and complainin.



Good luck,

Dave

 

What you did wasnt bad. I'd done the same thing too. This reminds me of 1995 when my family was parked at the local texaco getting ice for our vacation trip from Altus, Ok to Dereks, AR. We were parked in the parking spaces and this one guy was getting gas. Well for some reason the dipwad decided that his 8 yes 8 year old soon should learn how to drive right then and their Well the kid turns on the little pickup truck and floors it into the back of our van 150ft from where he was and us. Crap that hurt bad casue I was getting out of our van when it got hit and it threw me into another car I hate stupid drivers, and stupid drivers who dont pay attention.

That turbo kit is plain awful, not to mention buy you have to get an extension on your driveshaft or wider rear tires for it to look right. Even then its still ulgy.

 

update.......talked to my painter
total cost of project....1600-1700
accident pay 1400

what will be going on.....
91 gfx
91 high rise

he said it will be hard to get an exact match for the front nose.....so he said he will get a different pearl white and fade it into the hood and the side......but the rest should be fine

for only a couple hundred more.....this accident almost seems like it is working out for the best..............hopefully if everything goes ok.....

 

Sorry about your misfortune..... Any -good- painter can match pearl, it is not as hard as many think. Good luck with it, hope it works out for the best.
