Let me ask for one minute of silence. We had an accident on Friday close to the Florida Mall. A lady was not paying attention, like she said to the cops, and hit us at about 40 mph and destroyed my car. The insurance declared it a total loss. What a shame after all we did to get it how it was. By the way, an eye opener here for everyone, we paid around $400 for the spoiler, the insurance offered $100. We put 4 new tires on Thursday paying over $490 the insurance offered $100. We installed the Toyota anti-theft for a little over $395 and the insurance offered $100, fog lights around $395 and the insurance offered $75. Carbon fiber kit, insurance offered $75.
So I went to the shop and removed everything. Just an eye opener...
I Feel sorry for my loss but at least we are alive, now I will try to get a new one.
These are just a few lines here for those who like to read, enjoy
Good night

and I will be back...

 

ah, sorry to hear that.
glad you're alright, but the car...

hope things go well.

 

sorry to hear about your lose! are you looking to get a new xa?

 

hang in there man and whats up with all these "ladies" killing our cars!
every post ive read on an accident has been a "lady not paying attention"

someone should make bumper stickers..but did any of ur mods last?

 

... well, and she accepted the blame quick and tried to justify it by saying that a friend of her was telling her driving directions to her house...so... SHE WAS ON THE PHONE. sorry about the yelling, but come on... remember: Busy traffic and cellphones do not mix.
I should get another one in about ten days. I have another post on how I ordered it.
Have agood day

 

Just wanted to say it arrived on Saturday , so let the process of making it look good starts!

Thank you to all those who showed support when I lost the other one

The new one is tha same color , Black, with the same accessories, now I am working in getting the suspension done and the wheels installed

 

The new one is coming to life, got the TRD springs today and I am now thinking about the wheels

 

QUESTION
Quick question for anybody.
Finally got things moving with the new xA after the accident.
I am getting the TRD wheels in 18.

Will they fit OK??

I also have the TRD springs. Will the tire rub?

Anyone knows somebody with this set up??

Thanks

 

I have the TRD lowering springs w/ the 17". I dont think the 18's will rub. It'll look sweet. The springs only lower it about 2 inches.

 

Thanks for the info

I want to be sure before I make the "damage"

Thanks, any feedback helps

 

As soon as I finish I will post before and after pics

 

Can't you argue the parts cost with the insurance company???

We did, but they have set rates for accessories, for example; for the rear spoiler they offered $100, for the fog lights they offered $75, the same low rates applied for the Alarm, Carbon Fiber, new tires etc...
The Insurance co. will not pay good money for accessories. The car was a total loss.
So I went to the shop and with their approval removed all the accessories I could (which I will now use for my other xA, I have two xA's) The new one, the 2006 I ordered, has all the accessories I had on the other crashed one. But this time I am getting everything I did not have early.
Like the springs, wheels , suspension bars, change the tRD filter for the TRD cold air etc.

 

They arrived!!! Thank goodness.
Yes I was supposed to receive the TRD wheels maybe on Monday but they arrived early. So i had to go and get them installed asap. This way I can get the new ride in shape sooner. I also got the TRD springs. I stll need to install the springs.

Thanks for the feedback, you were right. They look very nice and do not rub anywhere with 215/35/18
I will post pics asap

I am starting to feel better after my loss.
Thanks
