Dealer gave an estimate of 5k+ to fix. Insurance gave me an estimate of 2.5k and then once they open it up, if there is more damage, then they will hopefully pay more after my deductible.

I wanted a replica kenstyle front, or an impule front, and the F1 type carbon fiber fenders, but the bodyshop tells me that replicas are never a good fit.. any one know were i can get good fit kits delivered fast? I looked at the market place, but i didn't find one for the fenders.

hello carbon fiber fenders and after market bumper!!!

Is your rear tires still in good condition?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA good use of the trunk net


that sucks though good luck shopping aftermarket

That trunk net is from my friends 06 hyundai tiburon. My one is still in the trunk. He was nice enough to pull the fender out for me and then use the net to keep things in place.

The car has 23k on it, and i bought it from a dealer, so i figured they would have put semi new tires at least. I will double check the tires. any one know where i can get the aftermarket stuff that fits properly?

damn man thats sucks. Same thing happened to me but the damage wasnt that bad. Got a quote for $600.

that sucks...

good luck

Why are the OEM rims so expensive? $800? and 200 for tires?

Because they are OEM...

That's one way to use the cargo net! Haha.

For the price of one OEM headlight (which you are sure to have to replace) get a set of 06+ from Tony at Infiniti Scottsdale for 550 shipped with bulbs.

I actually had a very similar accident and got the new lights and love them.

Also, don't let them drill into your bumper for your license plate--get the tow hook cover with the bumper and then get the Stillen plate bracket so you don't have holes in your front.

ouch...

hmm.. how sharp was the turn?.. btw.. did you have VDC off/ or on?...

i take sharp turns all the time in the rain =\.. damn sorry to hear about your accident.. looks like front fender is damaged.. =\.. it's gonna cost more than 2.5k to fix.. good luck..

This thread is making me sad...

well i've never wrecked my G, but for what i see there $5k sounds rediculous, as does $2500.

new bumper and fender needed + paint (i can't see, but the headlight looks fine to me). Am I missing something?
