Default Help a member in need

I was driving home from 270 on friday night and an accident occured three cars ahead of me. I broke and stopped maybe a foot away from the car behind me, but I looked into my rearview mirror and saw a car hurdling towards me. Bam he hit me from behind and smashes into my back bumper. It is just bumper damage, but I am in need of tail lights. If anyone has a taillight or lights that they dont need please let me know. My front left headlight is ok, but is scratched pretty bad, so if anyone can help me it would be great. It will be alright because I have the bodykit for it and now I can just put that on, but the taillights is needed, and I their insurance is a b**** so I am not dealing with them.


Thanx Mahalo
Skyler
If anyone has 04 or 05 taillights, that would be great!!!
P.S. I HATE SUVS

You got rearended and you're not using the other driver's insurance?

I'll see if the body shop still has the taillights from my car. They had little scratches that I would not accept for a "show" car.

Don't let them BS you... Get an estimate, before you start fixing things. Your estimate is probably over 1000$ for Rear bumper, tail lights and front end damange. Since you already have a body kit to slap on, use that cash towards having a nice body shop putting it on right.

Damn... sorry Skyler. Feel your pain bro.

Going through their insurance may take a little work but I think it'll be worth the money for you. Are you just concerned that the car will have an accident on file for it?

Sorry to hear that Skyler, but I am glad you are able to be here to tell us....

Good luck with the aftermath, I think you should try to squeeze the other guy's insurance as much as possible. Also, how will this affect your custom paint job?

Good luck again bro...

How did the headlight get scratched? Did you hit the guy in front of you?
