My friend backed into me last night and smashed my hood and bumper pretty good. It was 100% on him. I am hoping that I can atleast get a CF hood out
of this, instead of a new OEM one. So, if you're looking to sell one contact me FIRST!

He was driving a big lifted Jeep Wrangler. It was actually his big spare tire that hit the car, hence the damage to the top more than the front. Had it been his steel bumper I might be looking at some radiator/engine damage.

PICTURES:

 

Ooof! I hope he'll be a true friend and pay for the damage himself.

 

He (or his insurance) plans to. I hope he does, just so I can get a CF hood more easily.

 

that sucks man. oh well, gives you an excuse to mod =]

 

owch. lets hope u get something good out of it.

 

Ouch bro. Sorry to hear that, hope things go well and get it all fixed up.

 

yeah that sucks...cf hood?

 

If ou get a CF hood, please take pics and post it. I haven't seen a CF on a black tC et - but then again, I haven't really looked too hard.

 

 

^ nice car. Yours?

Glad no one got hurt but the car looks like it's hurting bad.

 

It's a teammate's, but a good example of what a C/F hood looks like on a black tC.

 

Thats "sexiness"...Tell ur teammate Good Job!!

 

well if you go through insurance, *(this is what i did to get my kaminari hood) i told the autobody shop not to order a hood, and i ordered mine, and paid the difference. it was 525 for the new hood, and the oem ones are like 330, so i only had to pay 200 for it. nice deal

 

I think you could've gotten it for free...

OEM hood plus paint and labor is close to $800 i heard, that would cover the price of a CF hood.

yep.... insurance will cover paint labor and the hood, so I think u got screwed if u had to pay for dat hood, unloess u pocketed de rest, actually ur autobody mechanic probably did hehe... ouchie...

 

how drunk was ur friend when he backed into you? or was he just a bad stick driver?JK!

 

He was totally sober. He rode the gas and not the brake in reverse and he's an inexperienced stick driver, even though he OWNS that car...

 

Def sexiness... thanks for the post 2fast.
I think I am going tohave to get into a fender bender just so I can get one!

 

Man, that looks harsh. Not as bad as I pictured when you told me about it the other day. Still wanna see it in person though...

 

you shouldn't of had to pay, paint doubles the price of an oem hood so basically it would've costed 600 for a painted oem hood.
