several questions...

YJ, yeah this crap happened in CS...go figure why a lot
of stupid drivers are here. I am probably one of them (Oh geee)
why the hell do people want to go and then suddenly stop when lights are green...probably trying to do some illegal maneuver? what bullcrap..

ok... I will not do the illegal thing
can I convert the front to a 97+ ?
is this also illegal?
if not should I do it?
I want to redo the front end of my car if permitting to something else than the original. Any advice on this?
yes I have a 250 deductible..but I am screwed cause I am considered at fault...I feel like fighting for this one
but I do not have time or resource..probably worthless too...darn it..this is an accident that is pretty darn stupid...I think they should make drivers license test exponentially harder..so not too many idiot can pass it...

Ouch man. I was pretty freaked when I crashed into a snow pile in a parking lot. Atleast theres no damnage to you. Good luck with the car, and getting all those parts.

maybe that guy had a stick shift and stalled it or something...accidents suck, I a really nice 2nd gen taurus and my insurance totalled it for damages slightly worse than yours Good luck with your car. Glad you are safe.

Illegal? I don't know if there is actually a law that states that having insurance replace parts with Aftermarket is illegal, otherwise a lot of insurance companies would be breaking the law since most of them opt for aftermaket parts that are OEM replacement.

I got insurance to pay for my clears, SMX grill, and SE bumper cover when I rearended someone. Asked the guy at the body shop, asked the insurance adjuster, the parts I wanted were actually a lot cheaper, so the insurance guy just said to use the extra money for my deductable...so being as the insurance adjuster and the body shop didn't care, I would doubt they would have been so willing if it were illegal.

Insurance cuts you a check for the damage ->

You can do whatever you want with it. Your premium is going to go up because of the accident, so might as well do what you want to the car. Aftermarket parts are probably cheaper the OEM anyways.
