Worst Day Ever

So my bad day got even worse when I tried to go for a little ride to relax and end up getting side swiped and incur 5k in damages... SO if anybody has a driver side fender, headlight, or side mirror they do not need, preferably in DG PLEASE PM ME!

What year is your car? I may have a headlight for you.

Sorry to hear about the accident. Good that you're okay.

Not a hit and run, got her insurance info.. No pics, all I have is a camera phone and that wouldn't do it justice. She tore apart my diver side fender, fvcked up my front right rim(BTW if anybody has an OEM 17 front I interested), and took my side mirror completely off. Also I am sure she completely tore apart my front driver side suspension but I couldn't really tell how extensive the damage was.

Yes it is a terrible day but think about the possibilities for upgrading your ride with her insurance company's $$! For the retail price of one wheel you can score a whole new set here on DRIVER. Same way with the headlights, what one would cost retail you can get a new set of projectors....follow me? Make sure you go to the best body shop in your area, you need the job done correctly....is her insurance paying for a loaner car? (they should) Done right it's not that bad a day....

That's awful bro but please keep it in perspective, imagine living in Japan and having your entire town wiped out. House, car, everything gone. Cheer up. =)

^ Very true. And yes Gary I am already very interested in upgrading my wheels to OEM 19s. And trying to make a few hundred off the headlights so I guess not too bad.. Although I always wanted to keep my car pristine..And now thats over and that is what Im most most upset about.

If it wasn't your fault and you have her insurance info, why no let her insurance handle everything and demand all brand new oem parts?

Instead of buying used stuff online. UNLESS, you're trying to come up a few $$$ by keeping some of the money her insurance is giving you.

^ I completely agree except I can upgrade to 19s and still save some money over the single 17" wheel they want. Also 900 for a single headlight is ridiculous.

I recently bought new projector headlights for around $500 for the pair from riverside Infiniti.
