Default Rear damage

Some SOB backed into me at a grocery store. Basic plastic scratches and the yinyl got stretched by the license plate. So here is some info on parts.

Bumper Cover P/N 4805776AB $267.00
Paint ($10 flex additive) $148.00
5.8 hours labor ($46) $266.80

Total after taxes and fees $729.84

My deductable $100.00

Sooo the 18th car is going to be busy. Taking the damage from the front end from getting ran off the road (front facia scratches and new wheel). On the front facia im going to have them just paint the bottom edge of the facial flat black. I seem to have a knack for "running aground". It is going to just get worse when I lower the car. This way I can just use black bumper paint (has the flex in it) to touch anything up. The facia is black to start with so probably wont even have to do that.

lol

what a drag, man.
I just got a front fascia on ebay for 65 bucks... or 150 after shipping. Still beats the 350 they wanted at the dealership. It'll probably cost around 150 bucks top get painted.

only spare parts would have been is the rear bumper, I worked out a deal with the body guy is for me not to pay the deductible, he is going to redo the old rear facia and he is going to ebay it. He says he can use heat to fix the stretched part. He says it wont be perfect but someone might buy it to replace a totally trashed rear. He has a freight account so he can send it to another shop easy. So Sorry no parts left over.

Yeah If my front end gets torn after I lower it, I was going to play with it too.

I was quoted the same price for the work for a front end. I just going have the black speayed on the bottom of the front and not claim it under insurance. $350 hmmm i was priced at $299 for a front end. I just might wait til the front is trashed and get a SRT-8 front haha.

Default RE: Rear damage

I'm wanting an SRT8 front end but they are not available yet. If you know where I can get one or have a part number let me know. The dealerships here said I have to wait a bit.
My front spoiuler is trashed so I'm gonna swap it now and either get a chin spoiler from dgmotorsports or get an SRT8 front fascia. I dig their side rocker panels too but just replaced one of mine so I'll just hang with the RT tucked look on the sides rather than spring for the complete SRT body kit vibe.
I had to fix this

and this


all in all about $850 worth of non-modding mods.
