Less pics of the car, more pics of you!



Sorry, couldn't resist.

Just concentrate on getting it fixed properly with an excellent paint job and blend job. Kenstyle is a little whacked for my tastes, and definitely an overkill for a mostly stock car.

but that means driving around with it like that till you do save up more money for the whole kit ..

the whole kenstyle kit is $1061.00
includes front bumper / rear bumper/ side skirts ..



.
not a bad deal, ill probably go for that after I get my cold air intake, exhaust and headers. I just want my car to be back to normal for now

But on a serious note, call the insurance comapines and the other party"s insurance company has to pay for everything, you do not even have to pay your deductibles. If the damage is <$1000 usually a police report does not need to be filed. Friendship aside, if the co-worker does not want to own up and pay for everything, then activate a claim against the other person's policy, get a police report and get your car fixed to how you like to have it. I dealt with a similar issue a few weeks ago and my out of pocket expense was $0.

1st, thats not her in the pic...lol she didnt come near me for atleast an hour after the incident. in a nutshell, i basically told her off

her insurance is taking care of all expenses including a rental car.

I took my car today and I decided to just keep the bumper the same because it turns out that they are only going to paint the bumper, it doesnt have to be replaced. But on the upside, they are going to give me the $ for a small scratch that I have on my wheel. I'll probably just keep the $ and leave the wheel the same, its really not that bad.

Im in Miami. Kendall to be more specific. I took it to A-Auto tech in the gables. I was talking to the manager and looking at the cars that were done and everything. They looked pretty good. Not only that GEICO is going to guarantee the work for the life of the car. Plus its not a MAJOR repair so I left it there.





Thank you for all the advice

By the way they say it will be ready by tomorrow or monday

Thanks! Yea, I'm not a big fan of exterior mods because most make the coupe look worse than stock, except lip spoilers like that Impul.

To the OP, the damage isn't too bad, but I've figured out that it's probably the same price or cheaper to buy a new stock bumper (only $250) and paint it than it would be to fix and repaint your old bumper.

Kenstyle + stock sides/front dont really

I would go with the stock bumper but thats just because I think the impul is nasty (In a bad way). But thats just my personal opinion.
