Prefer a PY bumper, but any will do.

Driver's rear bumper/light housing/back of rear panel got it pretty good last night. Looking for a bumper to save some money on repairs.

DRIVE CAREFULLY!! I was driving 'aggressively', but wouldn't call it 'spirited driving'. Nor would I say I was ignoring the conditions, just momentarily forgot it was 20 degrees. Very Cold, salt packed in a fine film over the road, very little traction, oops!! There goes the back end. First injury to my ITR besides door dings. In light of all the accidents over the last 3-4 months posted on here, I should have been more careful. I'm just glad it was only the bumper/impact bar that got punished, and not me or the front of the car.

Sorry to hear that Chris.... yeah cold weather sucks. Any pics of the damage? Hope it's not too bad.

 

No pics yet. Maybe Nate or Leo can snap some pics this week. I gotta pick up my field's harness this week, so I'll get pics then. I'm going to get it fixed pretty soon. I actually have to go get my driver's side tires unmounted and remounted today. Rocks got between the tire and the rim, pushing the tire in slightly in a few spots. Didn't hit a curb, but got two wheels in the grass/dirt/rocks.

I inspected the car for about 20 minutes at the scene last night, and did the same thing when i got home and this morning, too. Car drives fine, everything seems to be ok. Exhaust buzzes b/c the rear bumper is a bit loose and is tapping the back of the exhaust can above 3.5K. Suspension, bars, frame look ok. Probably have to have the impact/bumper bar bent back into shape. The end got bent pretty good.

Hmm...that sucks man. If you end up doing the repairs on it yourself and need help, let me know so I can help

 

Thanks man. I don't know if I'll do any work on this one. I have to get a few estimates today and see if there's anything beyond bending, sanding and repainting the side panel and putting on a new bumper. The truck is sitting about 1/4" too high right now, so I'm guessing there's more things out of place than visible from the outside.

 

Sorry to hear the bad news man.

Go here: http://www.car-part.com/ last time I checked I found some PY stuff, Good luck!

 

Sorry to hear, Chris. Stop driving F&F style you stunna

 

Chris told me that the impact itself wasn't so bad, but the crash made him spill his beer and ruin his favorite shirt.

 

Jackassess... all of you!!

yea, I was on my 9th Old Style and it spilled all over my favorite shirt.

Anyone know what body shops use to strip paint?? (i.e., off of a bumper in order to repaint?)

BTW Mugen Mike.... I found a '98 CW bumper at a reasonable price. Maybe I can just paint the rest of the car so I don't have to strip the CW bumper. CW will own my car....

 

sorry to hear it chris glad you're ok though....

 

i think ill have to go edit a post i did before.

 

What did you post that needs to be edited?

 

Damn, I thought you were a Pabst Blue Ribbon guy

They don't always strip the paint. Usually they just sand it down or "scuff" the paint then primer it.

Then you wouldn't stand out F&F style y0!

Sort of said you will get owned for avatar **** talking. lol

Glad that your ok.

 

Chris, just because the Bears got an *** whoopin last nite, that's no reason to drink yourself to a state of retardedness and go tearin off the R on the on-ramps. I can get you checked into some AA program if you like. I'm here to help.

 

THIS IS ALL LEO's FAULT!!!

We went to gameworks and were playing that F355 Ferrari Challenge Simulator. I got all wound up racing against leo that I was all full of adrenaline (maybe the guy whos username includes 'adrenaline', except misspelled, will see this post and change his name!!! ) and ... owned my left rear end. Damnit, Leo.

Off to the body shop! :Sigh: .....

 

Insurance will be picking up the bill minus my deductable. Too much to pay for out of pocket.

More damage than I thought - Rear quarter panel on driver's side is warped, bent, twisted, messed up. It's not visually disturbing, but up close and underneath it is not so good. I'll post a new thread with some pics. I hope the insurance appraiser/adjuster comes soon, then said 5-10 days!!!

 

Good luck on the fix. I damaged a rear taillight and the metal peice under. It proved to be easy to fix but it sounds like your damage is much worse.

Ouch

 

got pm

 

Question:
My new exhaust is 'buzzing' when shifting and between 3.5-4k. It also buzzes slightly when I maintain 3-4k rpms while driving.

It HAD been buzzing during shifts at low rpms (shifting at 3-4k would result in this 'buzzing' sound) since I installed it. I figured it was b/c it is so cold. My test pipe is about 3/4" too long, so until I got a cat or shortened the test pipe, I was not going to pass judgement on 'why' the buzzing was occuring.

NOW it is buzzing frequently like I stated above. Could it be the bumper and exhaust can 'buzzing' on each other since my bumper is now loose, and the exhaust sits very close to the inside of the bumper???

 

Chris, IM Brett, "98DC2"

i got my PY pass. side fender from him. Hes a great guy. Fender was mint

 

Only pieces he need is the bottom piece below the taillights and the rear bumper. Bodyshop is probably going to weld some medal to fix the rear quarter panel. It will be back for more Chicago cruises.
