minor accident

well, since im an idiot, i rear ended a guy in an Acclaim today on the way to work. this car needs a new bumper, mine front end is wrecked. i need a new headlight, bumper, hood, fender, etc. it was right outside a body shop we know people at, so its there now. the guy is working the price of putting my kit on into the repairs, as well as doing a CF hood. i will be without the max for 2-3 weeks it looks like. this sucks. i coulda drove it home, but i didnt want to. i gotta call my insurance company and research a CF hood now.

any CF suggestions? i wasnt gonna get one, but i am now.

Sorry to hear that about your car... I hope all goes well and be sure to take it to a reputable shop... As for CF hood, I read a few times of them not fitting right and requiring modifications.. Hopefully someone can answer this better than me...

Don't know much about them, but get it painted! West Coast style!

ha, no painting on the hood for me. itll match the grey luster perfect with no paint. the shop does have experience with this stuff, they know what to look for. one of the guys there is really into VWs, so he knows his ****. its just buggin me a lot, that i messed up like that.

Don't worry too much about it, it can happen to anyone..sometimes i take the car's power for granted and forget what it truly is capable of..I'm sure your car will look 10x better after its out of the shop
