Bought my car Thursday and here it is Tuesday morning and somebody decides to rear-end me at a stop light. I then hit the car in front of me. Well, just goes to show you, it is impossible to keep something "perfect" My front and rear bumpers need to be replaced and so does my key. It was bent in the ignition by my knee I think. Total estimate was just shy of $2,000, and I'm confident with the body shop. Anyone ever use AMERICA'S AUTO BODY in Schaumburg, Illinois? Anyway, just thought I'd vent. My sadness, anger and total dis-belief just won't go away.

 

sorry to hear. you might wanna look into the regional forums and ask them about where to go. i've had some bad luck too, but just tell yourself that it could of been worse.

 

aw man, sorry to hear your bad luck. you going OEM or will you be looking at aftermarket aero parts?

 

well $2000 doesn't sound too bad...looks like cosmetic only....best of luck with the repairs!

 

Sorry to hear it, dude. That really sucks. "You just can't keep anything nice" as my mother in law used to say.

BTW, were you wearing your seat belt?

 

I had the rear bumper replaced and no could ever tell it was, so doubt get too down, just find the right shop to do the work.

 

X, please post this in the Upper MidWest Forum. There are a TON of chicago guys there that can reccommend body shops. Dont make any decisions yet. Specifically talk to Lee (S2000GT), Urmil (Luder94) or Pete (Ruexp67)

They will be more than happy to help you out!

PS: Keep an eye on that forum for local meets to. I come down from Milwaukee every once in a while for them.
