New Update:
I work in the Walden Galleria mall and always park in the last spot hugging the curb as much as possible. Well that didn't stop someone with a white vehicle from ruining my 1/4 panel and bumper. Of course the mall has terrible cameras and saw nothing and of course they didn't leave a note.

Unfortunately insurance isn't covering it so I will be fixing it out of pocket. At least they didn't hit my wheels as i cannot get a replacement! About a week or two later i dropped it off at a shop to get repaired and am still waiting on getting the car back. I'm still in school so I told him to keep it as long as he needs.




On the bright side, I got a OEM AP2 Replica lip from Bayson R on ebay for $60 shipped. Also purchased OEM Honda Weatherstripping for the lip once it gets painted with the rest of the rear 1/4. Lastly, after waiting 2 months, my WedsSport center caps came in! Looks so much better IMO.


Also had time to install my sub frame rigid collars from ClubFi.com. I didn't bother aligning it after as I took it for a test drive and it drove straight for most of the part. I'll write a real review on them once I get a chance to drive the car when I get it back from the shop. As of right now I'm just finishing this semester and driving around my daily

i HATED parked at walden galleria. if you can, park over by the DSW... its the best place i found to park with the S... its normally the emptiest lot too.



Also why wouldn't insurance cover it? something about the policy not covering parked cars?


good luck man!

I too used to always be in Walden when I had my shop there and would always try avoiding driving the S there. Sorry to hear about the body damage. Were you planning on fixing it yourself? When I hit the wall at Palmer I did damage in roughly the same area and "fixed" it by slicing it out and riveting in over fenders. Just an option to consider.

I did Give over fenders a thought as the Spoon Sports ones would have covered it perfectly but i just like the look of the stock s2000 body and i would have to get new wheels or spacers to fill up the extra 20mm of fenders.

Ouch. I try to avoid most parking lots with the S, but especially the Walden Galleria!

I'm guessing insurance doesn't cover it because the damage is lower than your deductible?

When I got insurance on it it was supposed to be full coverage however that's not what they gave us. Therefore I only had liability and now have to pay out of pocket. Safe to say I will be changing my insurance soon.
