Default SOOO SCREWED

Well today driving on the freeway i was behind a lifted truck and turning a corner when suddenly my car jumped up in the air and i heard a loud bang. i looked back and what was it? a ____ing huge muffler in the middle of the road. needless to say my fender is now bent to hell and cracked. my rims are scratched the hell up, and im missing those plastic wheel wells in the fender. and cant forget the nice gap between my door hinge and the fender. sweet deal huh? my question is i was just thinking about spending 500 dollars on carbon fiber fenders from fast scions.com. is it at all worth it? do they look like ____ after a while? my insurance deductable is 1000. so im not dealing with that. and replacement fenders are the same price as carbons anyway. i just wanted to see if anyone has them and do they like them? also where can i get those replacement plastic wheel well thingys? im not to concerned about the front ones near the bumper, ill just rip those off. i just need the ones that go in the back towards the door. anyone that would know please help!

first: what color is your car?
second: the fenders aren't very good with fitment.

May you be speaking of the fender liner perhaps? Don't follow so close behind other vehicles from now on.

on a side note. since my ____ got so smashed in, (it moved away from my door a tad bit and pushed up my headlight slightly) would i have problems installing brand new fenders? or can it just be taken off and put back into place with a new set.

That sucks! Sounds like a body shop may need to get it straight again for you. Were you able to get all of the driver's seat out of your crack after you calmed down? Sorry, I was just thinking that must have scared the ____ out of you.

well i decided to go thru fast scions and get the Carbon creations CF fenders and hood for 950. Does anyone know how easy it should be to install the fenders? Anyone here done it? just wanna know what im getting into with all of it. Im sure the hood is relativly easy it only looked like four bolts. Thanks! Also anyone have any clue on the quality of carbon creations?
