so i F'ed up today...well kinda...

i'll make it short and sweet...

I didn't give enough room to the car in front of me, she jammed her brakes at the yellow...bam i rear-ended her...very strange lady...it was only a 10mph impact but lady claimed she needed an ambulance...the paramedics and officer though she was very strange...and the officer dosen't believe she has insurance...2 paramedics and the officer said she looks like the crazy suing type... yaaah....

so anyway...on to the carnage...oh and i'm fine BTW...shop suggestions?....hmmm AP2 front w/ CR lip, or just AP1...decisions decisions...and surprisingly its still drivable...no vibration, alignment seems fine...

bad pics

 

looks very bad to me.
Sorry to hear that.

If I am buying a used one, I will get a same color but any style, then buy my own lips.
If I am buying a new bumper, I will go for the fiber glass Amuse style.

 

right...the price to replace w/ a AP1 front is the same as AP2...so if i had the shop put on a AP2 i could then throw on the CR lip...

 

yikes, my heart skipped a beat when i saw the pic. i def wasnt expecting that. hope everything turns out well.

 

 

I say leave the duct tape on and run the battle scars
But seriously I say do something other than the cr lip.. Go for a shine asm style front. Dont get me wrong I do like the Cr front but everyone has it now.

 

I like that - nice!

 

I still cant belive I watched this happen... My worst nightmarewatching a car I love get in an accident. Glad your ok. Personaly the cr lip is a lil over played here in oregon but always looks good. Id go with an after market one but your call. Hope all plays out ok or in your favor. LMK if ya need anything

 

yeah i'm sure i'll be rocking the battle scared front for about 2 weeks... which is about the amount of time it will probably take to get into the shop...i do have rental car coverage, so i at least wont be out a car while its in the shop...forgot that my deductible is only $125; yaaa for not having accidents...

if this cuts into the time of the Newport cruse ill just rock the damage...

any suggestion on shops...i dont have to stay in the Eugene/Springfield area...but close-ish would be nice...not so much Portland...unless there's a really good reason...

and yeah the CR lip is quite prevalent now...i still just really like a plain old AP1 front, but i also want something different...

i was thinking about smearing some of the Special FX quality Blood that i have on the front for the shock of it....but then again i would probably get harassed quite a bit...

i forgot...if i do go w/ a OEM front, will it be pre-drilled for the front plate?...if not, awesome...

 

pre-drilled, but you can always have the body shop shave them for you
