To aviod smashing into the back of someone I had to take an alternate route into a ditch on christmas. My beloved car has taken some damage.







Any suggestions how much this would cost to fix, the front part of the lip kit has not been damaged, but I don't know if you can reinstall it after it has been ripped off.

the bumper has 2 cracks in it and when you open the passenger side door it rubs where hinges are.

Not sure if the wheel is mess up or anything to do with the suspension, but it does pull to that side a bit now.

do dealerships do repairs like this? I prolly need a new bumper and tons of other ****....

This sucks

 

Not really an expert or anything but it sounds like your alignment could be messed up. And that's gettin off easy. It could be alot worse. Don't know about the other stuff though. Doesn't look like there's any frame damage though.

 

Call your insurance file a claim
bring it to the dealership for the work

eat the deductible.

 

LOL. He's right. Hope you got good insurance

 

It can't be more than a standard deductable.... I mean really??? You think that'll topple 500?? I mean, 250.... maybe...

New bumper, painting, blending

which means things could be bent
possible underacarriage issues, realignment etc etc etc

Accidents happen, its a brand new car
don't be cheap

I never understood how comeone can put aftermarket wheels, or "upgrade" the car... yet when it comes to repairs or routine maint.
that people all of a sudden become "frugal"

 

Try out a friends SI bumper and see how it fits if it fits good with no issues then just get a new bumper !

Can I take it to the dealership and have them give me an estimate, then decide if i want to make a claim?

 

Hah..... would be nice, but no thanks.... new bumper huh.... can't just buff that out?? (j/k)

Yes
99.9% of Insurance companies will accept a dealers estimate for a claim.

!! LMAO !!

 

Good luck with that bro, sorry for the damages. It's always a shame.

 

You check that after putting it on !

But like you said file the claim and let the pro's handle it !

 

No seriously, good luck with the repairs and all. I'm sure you'll pull through.

theres a little thing called the fender... in between your door and bumper.

i have a pic avail if you need it

 

I am going to take it in when I get back from colorado. If it is under 1k then I'll just pay for it myself, but if it's something crazy like 4k....then that's why we have insurance.

I have never made an insurance claim, does it go on your driving record that I got into an accident?

 

No, but it may raise your deductible pending your insurance company.

Only if a police report was filed......i think

Join the military.....get USAA insurance....they're badass.

 

I f-in love USAA. It's not just insurance bro.... low interest loans, excellent checking account programs.... blah, anyway, yeah, premium doesn't go up, but deductible may.

 

Yep. it's awesome. Progressive quoted my chic 175/mo. just for her car. USAA was that much for my Si AND her car together full coverage. And i'm not even 25 yet. Neither is she. Can't beat that!
