Was riding with my friend in her Coupe. Some idiot decides to stop suddenly. We have to stop and I guess the chick behind us wasn't paying attention and slammed into us. Hit us pretty hard. My fiancee was in the back and since there's like no headroom back there, she banged her head pretty hard against the window.

Damage isn't too bad actually. Left muffler got moved a little, but otherwise, just the bumper got damaged.

Anyone know a good bodyshop in the West Los Angeles area?

 

check your pm

 

glad everyone is OK>

 

ME TOOOOOOOO!! ok, i didn't get hit in an accident but some moron hit me while I was eating at The California Chicken Cafe in Santa Monica and when I came out there was a noticeable white scrape accross the side of my rear bumper.

It was about 9:30pm and I went to park in the lot behind the restaurant and saw a few spaces open.... so naturally I picked the one away from all the cars and thought, cool I got a sweet spot all to myself...... but after enjoying a 1/4 chicken with chicken pasta and broccoli salad, I headed home and when I got to my car I couldn't believe it! I swear, there are some BAD drivers here in LA, I literally have to avoid some idiot on the cell phone drifting into my lane at least once a day on the 10 fwy.

Well if you guys know of a good body shop in West LA area, let me know, I would probably like to get out a couple of other little sore spots on the bumbers as well, thanks.

 

hi-tek body shop...PM if you want the info...

 

Ok Almost the same situation happened here. Last month I was running some errands for my mother, and getting stuff at the Home Depot. When I was pulling out I was at a light stopped. Some dumb 17 year old girl that wasnt paying attention nailed me at about 10 mph or so. I didnt think the damage was so bad or anything like that, but when I took it to my uncles body shop the truth was descovered. What looked like minor damages was really serious. She had snapped the bumper brace, bent the metel crossbar, and ruined the bumper. I didnt think this would be possible but my uncle explained it to me. When I took it to Inphinity to get a price range, they told me it would take 5,700 dollars to fix the car. But my uncle, who gest the stuff on wholesale, is fixing it brand new for 2,400. Yeah thats a lot cheaper, but im warning you the damage can be a lot worse. Make sure you lift the car, take off the bumper and look throughouly for interior damages! Btw. Its been a month and my car will be ready tomorrow at last!

 

wow did u make that girl pay for ur damages Lol her insurance must b sky rocketing if she claims insurance

I had my G fixed here..they are the best in my opinion they do a complete detail on your car when its done.
Check out the site it has befor and after pics, they work with alot of luxery cars.

 

Glad nobody was hurt too badly. Good luck with repairs.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. Sucks cuz the G had just been detailed a couple days before. It was freaking spotless inside and out. Then, cuz we had drinks in the car, the interior is kinda sticky all over cuz iced tea spilled all over. I'm still trying to figure out how to clean the edges of teh seat warmer switches and other buttons.

Yeah, we go to the California Chicken Cafe too. Definitely needs a new parking situation. I just take my chances on the street near some houses and walk it. Love that Chinese Chicken Salad.

 

GBousis...how many times are you going to call infiniti, "inphinity"??

 

i got rear ended twice in 2 minutes by an H1 hummer last year in my 04 coupe, the mutherfawker hole-punched my rear bumper with his fog lights... he was only going 5-10mph

 

just to tell you, g35lin had a terrible experience with mobworks. i was going to have them repair my bumper but after seeing the shoddy quality of their paint job, i have decided to use somebody else. i dont wana slam on them, this is just what i have witnessed.
