Default rear ended

I got rear ended and this lady is paying me cash for my exhaust and bumper.
My question is Is it worth upgrading the whole exhasut and pipe while Im at it and get my back bumperbody kit.

Second where in San Diego Cali is there a body shop thats reasonable for that kind of upgrade.

Also should I go with K&N exhaust. That

upgrading the exhaust is a cosmetic decision, not much performance to be gained there (imho).

Say, sorry about the accident. That sux but at least you don't have to go to the ins. co hers or yours= rate increase even if it isn't your fault (and it wasn't your fault of course!)


quick question
What color is your xB???
what were the circumstances of her hitting you? Were you sitting at a red light? Was she on her cell phone?

sorry about that, shoot!

Well, the BORLA does help, a great deal, IM(Less Then)HO. And I'm not the only one who thinks so.

So spend it now. Why wait? Sides, we only live once. Enjoy while you can. Make lemonade with crushed lemons or something like that.

And, it sounds great.

One, no drag for me. Don't need no hassle from DA MAN.

Two, never said it would make your car SUPER FAST. Think I said it would help a great deal. As in, it would help make it better.

Now you know, it's true, hey Jude...

Sorry; got on a Beatles tune...

What speed did the accident happen? You should have filled out a police report so you have proof just in case an injury surfaces a month after the accident. This way you have something documented in case you need to take this to court.

2 in one day? That suks!

Be sure to check the bumper absorber adn the reinforcement. I'd definately get a shop to do a thorough estimate and then have her pay you. SHe might think twice if it is over 500

I use to work auto claims and it is going to get tricky since you have damage over damage. Unless they are in two separate areas.
