Hit and run
Man, someone backed into my car last week and drove off. My insurance won't cover it so looks like I'm stuck with the damages :( I had my Sol for about 8 years and was about to do some nice upgrades..
Trunk lid has dent, license plate panel is smashed, bumper and wing have new scratches. Side panel is slightly off but not shown in this pic https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...7b8cfd17dd.jpg |

Re: Hit and run
That’s really not too bad, I’ve been hit there harder.
You should just replace some of the panels. I’d start with the rear garnish and work my way. Or honestly, I’d probably even leave it until I could find a rear panel in the same color which won’t be easy lol. |
Re: Hit and run
Why won't your insurance company cover the damage ??? Don't you have full coverage ???

Just liability. I filed a police report too. The worst thing is it happened at work and it's a private area so it was someone there.

No cameras in the parking lot. They have them everywhere else too. Go figure

Re: Hit and run
Look for a car with damasge and red paint on it. That'll be enough to get you somewhere I think.

I hear ya man. Did you end up fixing everything? I got an estimate from a body shop and they wanted around $2,500. Told him I can get the license plate panel for $100 and he said he would paint it for that price. So I'm going to order that later today. At this point, I'd put a black one on there if it was in good condition. lol My rear bumper already had those white marks when I got the car and it still has no dents. My trunk and side panels are what I'm really worried about. This sucks
Yeah get the panel, now what side panels are you talking about? I only see the trunk, garnish and bumper shown. |

Re: Hit and run

Re: Hit and run
I bought a ton of shit on ebay.de. Ran everything through a translator, and any seller enquiries also, esp. if they did not list the item with international shipping. My German was terrible but it worked well enough that I got lots of cool stuff. Power adjusting headlamps for a 5G Civic were (are?) suuuuuuper cheap (we're talking 10-20 Euros + ship) ... I laugh when I see that crap listed for $200+. Just gotta be careful they have all the tabs, etc.
