my S2K got rearended by a drunk guy in a pick up truck tonite. he blew a 0.145 and the legal limit here is 0.08... he got arrested for DUI! just when i thought life couldn't get more stressful, it does. i'm fine... just pissed b/c i've only had my car for about 2 months! here's the story:

i was sitting in the left lane of a 2 lane road at almost a complete stop at a red light. the worst part was i could see the guy coming REALLY fast behind me and couldn't do too much about it. fortunately or unfortunatly, i swerved a little to the left so he only got my right rear corner instead of my whole rear. damage isn't awful (the car is still driveable) but i will need to get it fixed at a body shop ASAP. i'm gonna need a new bumper, trunk and prolly a new quarter panel on the right.

the problem is, i just moved to Newark, DE this summer and don't know any body shops in the area. i'm willing to drive a little for quality work so anything in DE, southern NJ, northern MD or southeast PA is fine. thanks in advance for any help you can give me and i'll take pics to post tom. when it's light outside.

*steph*

pics added!

Sorry to see that happen to you. I know that PA has cracked down pretty severely as far as penalties for impaired drivers, so hopefully they will pay for their error.

If you were closer to Western PA I could refer you to a couple places out here...but, at any rate, good luck with it!

 

Why not go to a Honda dealer?

That way if something down the line goes bad, you can complain.

 

all i gotta say is

Elrich Autobody
631 722 4056

they are located on LI in New York

these guys do high end work on import cars...a lot of the metro guys on s2ki use them

my s2k is there right now gettin some work done......look what happended to my car

 

All i know that from the looks of it your convertible top got a little torn i think they are going to have to replace that with a hardtop . Oh yea and remember your neck and ur back hurts very badly

 

haha! getting a hard top would great

hey steph. RG autobody. its at the end of noxon rd before it hits rt55. ive seen his work its imaculate. hes not cheap but you wont know the car was even touched when hes done with it. he does mostly high end cars. you wont regret it.

 

almost the same exact thing happend to me about 2 years ago when i still drove a civic..... ... it sucks to get rearended....

well i say you take it to honda... have them take care of it.. or... get the check from your insurance... and get a carbon fiber trunk, install it yourself... and then get some body shop to fix the bumper and rear quarter pannel

and project ssap1... what the hell did you hit?? a deer? or did you run over some dude that pissed you off?? hehe
