my NEW crx that i just bought, didnt have for longer than 2 weeks has been hit already. some **** face hit me on the passengers side front, my CF hood is safe. fenders, hood lights, and my SI rim need to be fixed.

Does collision 1 or maaco, polish out the scuffs on rims?

 

Damn that sucks bro. Is it paint scuff? I'm sure they can.

 

yeah miscellaneous paint scuff, and a few deep ones. i dont mind if the rim has a few scratches you know? i just dont wanna have to find a whole new one. let me go take pics

 

 

you should make them buy you a new set of wheels. and keep those for a spare

i dont think it works like that. Will a body shop be able to polish those scratches out is what i wonder.

Their insurance has to put your car back in the condition it was in before the wreck. If that includes replacing one wheel they have to do it. You won't get it back to the same shape by polishing it. There are tiny grooves on those wheels and if you polish out the scrathes you will polish out the grooves and see a blemish, thus not being in the same condition.

 

I had something similar on my car door, I waxed some of it off but some stayed on there. Have you tried some simple green?

havent tried anything yet. you know that sick feeling you get, the feeling of not even wanting to bother with touching anything on the car yet because your overwhelmed with anger?...that's what i have...the sickness in your stomach feeling.

 

Definetely go to Honda and they will give you an estimate for the rims, fender, corner light and get a n estimate on paint cost.

There insurance will cut you a check and you can easily buy the parts and have ti done through honda-tech for the fenders/light and just get the wheel polished and ****, youll have a nice wad of dough left over

 

Time to paint those wheels flat black!!!

 

It sucks you were hit but those pictures dont look too bad. Other than the wheel and fender, I think you made out pretty well.

I would just find a single wheel on ebay and have insurance pay for that.

Depends on your insurance company. In my old Camaro, I got into some water doing a U-turn and planted the side of the car into a curb...two rims destroyed, screwed up suspension in the front, bent rear axle. Not only did insurance cover all of it, but they (per my request) gave me the money for the two rims instead of buying new stock ones. I took the money and bought a set of four aftermarket rims and paid the difference (which wasn't much due to the inflated cost of stock rims). Maybe something like that could work for you too?

If not, I agree with the painting idea.

 

Yeah it just depends on your insurance. My friend bent his wheels and he got enough to for rotas. I think they will hook you up as long as it was that guys fault. They will fix that fender and the head light you will be back to normal in no time.

Get some locks for those wheels too. In my city si have been getting jacked alot.

 

Car looked mad nice bro sorry to see it now but goodluck getting it back in one peice !

 

using wheel cleaner got all the black and white scuffs completely off. now there's various scrape marks..nothing too bad...hopefully a fine sand paper will help that

 

go kill that guy!

yea..his dad is the counseler at the middle school here...the cops came to the scene and automatically conversed with the kids dad like they were friends. i think they were biased with their decisions.

nonetheless if i kick his ***, which i can most certainly do. it wont help anything..only make it worse

 

What do you mean they were biased?

I guarantee if you can prove it somehow you could use it to your advantage.
Go kick an extra dent somewhere.

Actually, dont go overboard on the estimates, if you go over the car worth, that ******* totalled

i bought it for 5 grand...And i dont know how i can prove it..to me its not worth the effort. i just want it fixed asap you know? Time without a car has alot of chain effects.

 

damn that really sucks, youve got bad front end luck huh...atleast this one wasnt as bad as the last.

clean car..hope to see it back up to par asap!

 

damn that was the cleanest crx ive ever seen too. hopefully you can just replace some body panels and a wheel and be set. good luck

UPDATE: Im about to beat the **** out of this kid tommorow at school. Turns out he's been bragging about how some "Stupid *** in a crx" got in his way when he was going 75 in a 35 zone, and that he got away with it...I dont care about the consequences...he's getting his second period tommorow, in front of everyone.
