hey i know exactly how you feel. i got my car on the road for one day after i was finished with my motor swap. some guy hit just enough to ruin my tail light, quarter panel, bumper, and one part of a 3 peice spoiler. now your going to have fun finding parts for you car. for my car, i couldn't get a new bumper. so i had to get a used one. the quarter panel took some time to find, but my friend finaly found a GM quarter for $500.
sorry to here about this, but aleast you are alright and he is paying for the damage. good luck

diabolical...thanks but no thanks...im pretty sure the bumper isnt totally ruined,i believe that they can just pull the dents out since it never cracked the bumper or quarter panel....~cristy

yeah it definately could have been worse. the damage that was done to my car was $2,700. it is still not fixed. oh well, it should be going it as soon as i get the bumper.

Well I learned my lesson also.
Never let Joe (lt1guy) drive my car. Both times someone tried to back into RAIF's nose. Not Joes fault at all. The first time the guy trashed my nose. The 2nd time I saw it happening and jumped b/w the 2 cars & beat on the guys back glass till he stopped.
So the car gods have warned me...no one is to drive my car but me!
I'm so sorry to hear the car got hurt, but at least its fixable...how hard is it going to be to match the paint?

Air_Adam...yeah i hear ya there...kids that dont appreciate their rides...probably the fact that they havent worked for every dime that is put into their cars like we all have...so they could give less then a d@mn about it....
as far as matching the paint Redraif...thats the body shops problem which shouldnt be too hard for them as the car has been there before for rust spots,etc..
heavy_chevy...thats about what my car looks like except the boo-boo is on the other side....sorry to hear about your ride...

pics available The first time I polished my car it got hit a day later. Maybe it's something in the products we're using...for me it just might be the month of November *shrug*
Glad you weren't hurt and I hope you get your car back as good as new.
