Default My civic after accident.

Bout a week ago, I was sent off the road by a ford truck driver. Went up against a mailebox that was cemented 4 feet into the grounded. Cracked the windshield, huge scrapes all over, scrapes on doors, both passenger mirrors are scraped, rear panel is all dented up with big scrapes. Plastic side peices were taken off, side view mirror came completely off. Big junks of paint are off. etc.

Luckily No one got hurt and the guys mailbox that got trashed was cool about it.
I was gonna spin the car around and follow the guy but I went downhill and put my feet on the brake, so I stalled out and he was gone. ]:

I didn't report it so my insurance wouldnt go up.
Now Im looking at some pretty expensive body work. The pictures really do it some justice cause it looks 100% worse in person. Sorry if the pics are a little repetitive, I just wanted to try and get a good example.

BTW dont you like my winters on steelies [;

Nope, he bolted. I stalled out and I was pretty shook up because It was a hard hit. It may not seem like it it but I spun out. That and my passenger was in tears.

Im really just glad neither of us got hurt. I mean Im pissed my cars jacked up, but im glad it runs and whatnot and that we were both ok.

This is not appearance. Discuss the repair.

Well my idea so far, i need to save up cash for paint + body work.

But to minimize that, we have a set of 99 si doors and i want to put on, but they are painted gunmetal, but since the whole things gonna get painted it doesnt matter, i am getting the windshield replaced soon, and it will prolyl sit liek that till i have enough money to repair it.
