Oh my poor baby

well here is pic of my abused ride in it's current state. Just before christmas I rear ended a buddy of mine. Now I am finally gathering parts to put it back together, I've got a bumper cover in the basement, a headlight and fender on the way. Then a new hood in the box in the background, the other seperated and flew off in a wind storm.

I hope you realize that most likely you will be going to a body shop. your prolly gonna need that rail that your panel sits on straightened. the same thing happened to me and it wasnt a big deall but the body shop bill that i didnt think id have to pay is 1,000 dollars.

What kind of hood did you have on there? Are they going to do anything about it? Kinda rough shelling put that kinda doe and have that happen.

He had ASCD's ram air hood. That sucks man, but from what I can see, your frame shouldnt be bent, every thing should line up. If not, then off to the body shop you go.

yea it was an ASCD hood but I'm not sure if it was their problem because the headlight was lower than the hood and the air hit directly on the corner of the hood. Then the two layers seperated at that corner I called ASCD about it and they sent me a new one no questions asked. but I kept the old one on untile I was ready for paint and in a wind storm the top layer totally seperated and flew off. I'm not sure if it was an ASCD problem or the fact that it was not totally alligned.
