let mesum this up... Dad was going to wash out jet ski and asked me to move my car so I didn't get water marks on it from him washing ...so I backed out into the street... 5 mins later some 11 year old kid and his father were riding by and the kid rode right into my car... I had the cop come and get me a police report because the guy kept saying ... yeaa well agree on a reasonable price... my daughters boyfriend knows how to do body work... im like noooo way I can too but its an 08 im having professionals do it.. after going over the car im estimating it will cost about 2500 to fix. hood bumper and fender need paint, dent in middle of hood, dent in fender, scratch on headlight lens..

anyone know where I can buy an 08 headlight I've searched around all night could only find 0607 lights... I was also thinking of buying he RS1 lip kit while im getting stuff painted..

so mad.... ill post pics of damage later on when I get home along with numbers I get from my body shop

 

buy the headlights off the dealership.
I recalled seeing a couple on ebay a few weeks back but they were being sold for 600 each and eh there was no way i'd buy them at that price, especially on ebay.

 

I had a Lowes delivery guy drop a refrigerator on the hood of my parked car from a lift on the back of his truck. Best part was I was walking out my front door and watched it fall in slow-mo.

 

holy s***!...same thing pretty much happend to me 3 months ago. i was parked and after class i went to get some lunch and bam!...some girl decided to slide on the side of my car with hers because she was late to class.....argh!

 

you can buy a new headlight from www.trdsparks.com about $200 per headlight.

new bumper is about $229 dollars msrp.

as for a hood, you can get compensated for the price of a new hood, and you can take that to get something like a nice new kaminari reverse cowl induction hood, and get it painted, or get a cf hood.

 

yeah i would take advantage and just hook up your car! but dont get the rs1 lip thats played out get the NIA lip with a c/f hood! and some eye lids to have everything match!

 

yea actualy I was thinking of doing all replacement with upgrades... im keeping my headlights I love them, and I don't know how a cf hood will look on a BSP tc. I kinda like the reverse cowl hood and kalamari bumper but I don't want to get too ricey... I really like the RS1 lip kit have any pics of the NIA kit?

 

cf goes with everything.

and you don't have to get a cf hood, you could get the fiberglass hood and have it painted bsp.

 

Wait a second. It sounds like they were riding by on their bikes right? 2500 in damage?

You sure about that? Were they going 40mph in a pedal powered tank?

 

well, you can assume that they messed up the plastic bumper, which is $229 unpainted, and the hood would be...$311 again, unpainted, so your already looking at $540. not sure what the cost of painting to match is. said they broke a headlight, that is another $200, so now we are at $740. did he hit the supports for the radiator, horn, grills.

 

fender is dented too.. plus add labor on alll that... 2g maybe? I keep sayin 2500 as the high and hope it will be less. if I buy new bumper and hood id have to get it installed and painted... it will be a lot especially on long island bodyshops charge 95 an hr

 

How old is he? 2 years old? It says your only 19.
That sux about the tC though, good luck.

 

went to body shop... 1978 to fix... and that's my pricel... his daughters bf is 20... id rather do it myself tho...

 

i think that is what the father of the boy who hit his tc was saying. his daughter's bf knows how to do body work.

 

Ohhhh. Makes sense now. Definitely don't go that route. Get it fixed right.

 

Something similar happened to me when I had my tC less than a week. Was at work, and someone backed into the front in with a tow hook.

I went to the dealer and asked who THEIR body shop was. Your car's brand new, get it done factory fresh!

 

Highly reccomend trdsparks for the 08 headlights and pretty much any other factory parts. I just ordered the 08 headlights from them for my 05 tc and I had them at my door within 3 days. Easiest transaction I've ever done. I have also ordered trd springs from them in the past and they arrived just as quick. The 08 cost me $199 each with about $15 shipping per light not too bad..

 

Yea, i dont want to go to his body shop... idk why he even mentioned that, it was stupid to say... it would have been the right thing to say if i rode my bike into his car...
people dont get it... well im going to get two more quotes, one from dealer and one from another body shop where i know the owner.

I was looking around at CF hoods... WOW didnt realize it was so expensive, any one wanna sell one? lol

 

haha kalamari . . . haha
