AAAHHHHH!!!!!
my baby got hit today. what was once a beautiful masterpiece has become another dented, smashed, and broken piece of art.
My passanger side was nailed by the side of a 96 Ford Escort going about 55 in a 30.
I now need a new bumper, passanger side fender, and the entire retractable headlight assembly. Luckily the only damage my hood suffered was the plastic grill. But now my car is a perminant pa-diddle.
I'm so depressed... you've got no idea. I love my car. :( It's my first one and now she's got the worst "black eye" ever. Oye vey.
Anyone know where to get direct OEM factory replacement parts? I know they'd cost an arm and a leg, i was just wondering is all. I'll probalby just go to the bone yard and rip the stuff off an old junker. Then i'll go to wal-mart and buy some spray paint for 25cents a can and have my way with it... lol.
Naw. However, considering that color matching through professionals is pricey i may just spray the new bumper flat gray or black... i could do it to the rear bumper too.. it'd just look like a DX or something. I dont really know though.. depends on what i find. This is so depressing....
I'll post pictures of the damage in the morning... Night!
