Damn man, that sucks. Did you get an estimate yet?

 

yeah...dropping car off on monday...$3300, fully covered and numbers have been "toyed" with so i can avoid the deductable.

 

Exactly the total i had only...for two lights and harness. Is yours just for one light?

 

new headlight
new fender
new bumper
all the pieces that come with all that

allignment was still good, hoods bent a bit but they can straighten it.
parts already ordered....coming tomorow and getting sprayed over the weekend...i drop it off monday....repair and etc... they said i should get it back friday....meanwhile i have a pretty cool frat brother that said i could borrow his car so i can go to work, only bullsh*t of it is IT'S A DAMN ELANTRA. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DRIVE THAT THING, IT'S NOT 6 SPEED, IT'S AUTOMATIC, IT'S NOT 255 HP, IT'S 55, I'M LUCKY IT HAS A/C...ok, just venting....

 

Damn, still alot of damage for cutting in, you mustve got pushed out the lane with that much damage or at least to the point where the car almost lost it.

Do you two have like magnets attracted people to your HIDs?

they come towards us like moths at night..

 

so the explanation begins...i was parked, i pulled out of the spot, no cars behind me. imagine 3 lanes...1 and 2 are driving, 3 is parking. i'm on 3, going into 2, person in lane 1 was changing lanes into lane 2...my car was about 3/4's out and smack, the focker hit me. it was a company van (Ford E250). his right side middle makes love to my front.
i've been drving most of hte day and nite and allignment thank god was not affected. it seems mostly cosmetic. one of the crimple zones is bent a tad, other than that, everything seems lined up. on bumps, it rubs obviously, no fram damage, radioator, yada yada. i really can't do much but wait. monday it gets dropped of for it's surgery. friday i pick her up from the shop.

i am only happy about one thing, which is hardly anything, my front end is getting a nice new paint job so i won't have to live with crappy nissan paint. good quality ppg. should match perfectly, since it's mostly pieces that have to be painted.

 

Ninja front or Stillen lip?

It might be a good time to buy them if the body shop is willing to order/paint them.


BTW, if you can get your broken headlamp pieces, you might get the burner/ballast for parts.


Good luck!

 

Sorry about your car! Hope you didn't get a ticket on top of that.

 

ticket????....the hell are you talkin about...where in there do i get a ticket???

 

Dude, I'm sorry about your car but read again what I said. I didn't say you got a ticket, I wished you not to get one.

 

i know, and i'm asking...where in there would i deserve to get a ticket...i did nothing wrong....in a way we're both at fault, entering lanes at the same time.

 

Did the other driver admit any fault? If there's no police report, it may not be easy to prove your story. Business insurance companies can be a PITA to deal with.

 

must be a bad week for maximas and headlights!

augh!

i actually got to chase my headlight across 3 lanes of freeway traffic during morning rush hour...

 

umm i think nissan also uses ppg.. i suggest either sikens, or dupont.. altho i too am getting my car painted using ppg.

 

Man, that is goin to take a while to fix, since just putting a bumper cover on my car took like 6 days. Where are you getting it done at, I got mine done at Carstar, $469 later.

 

newport in sunnyside.....authorized state farm body shop and authorized adjustor, so i walked in, and he had me written up and ordered within half hour. i got into the accident at 1:30, went to his shop at 3, was out by 3:30...hood has to be resprayed and only straightened, something about that bothers me cause i just dont' like the sound of a piece getting straightened, that sh*t never comes out straight. all i said to him was "i dont' care what you do, i want my car back BRAND NEW, let's hope he does the job, i've seen some of the miracles he's pulled off on a 99 max and a 99 galant. both were 70+ mph head on collisions, car came back lookin like new.
very highly recommened, though i won't give my final approval till i get my car back.
