Actually, I hopped into the passenger side and got out over there, my shoulder was sore for a few days from the seatbelt, other than that just a small bruise under my left ear, have no idea how the car got like that, got blinded with snow from a car that went off ahead of me, so i dont' know what happend between that and when my car stopped, i know i didn't roll, and 3 trees were involved. :-)

 

Damn guys, breaks my heart to see these cracked up Lancers. I recently had a run in with ice. Bounced off another vehicle. Nearly missed the whole thing needless to say the Evo is at the body shop until a hood, bumper, headlight, wire harness, etc... come in. Sucks driving a rental car.

 

hey guys,

I'm going to attach the photo's of the lancer... then later today i'm going to get the estimate. The body shop does amazing work but he priced it to get it back to factory spec. (5k - 5.5k) Later today i'm going to post a list of parts and ones i found and possibly you guys can lead me to aftermarket parts or places to get it cheaper. Thanks in advance guys! Here's the pics.

 

Max of 5 pics... here's the other 5.

 

damn that sucks.....when i get my pics back from king collision i will post mine makes yours look good

 

damn,....

I had another page with a few things... including the $6500 total....

Still... thats going extreme... prolly would've been cheaper to total it

But so far i'm going with the Accolade Evo 8 kit and Extreme Fenders... so that should drop around a grand off payments.

 

thats exactly almost how much mine cost ****in all these peices just dont add up just the work they do and the paint n **** they over charge so much

 

to be honest

i want to get it painted the way i want... so he's not painting SH*T... and thats for factory parts... i'm going to cut about a grand off but i'm going to completely pimp it (exhaust/intakes/P&P possibly) get it running nice, finish putting on the kit... then i'm going to get it painted.

 

I don't want to be a bubble popper, but.... If it isn't paid off, you don't have much choice... The insurance agent give the check to whom it deems "good enough" so if you want to mod the car, you better start puckering up to the guy. Sad but true. If on the other hand you paid cash for the car, well then the insurance gives you the check and you can do what you want with it. You can mod your car, buy a hooker, throw a kegger if you want! Sadly most of us had to finance our cars so we have to do what the bank says (more or less). Hopefully whoever does the bodywork will work with you on parts selection.

my insurance co is a b*tch they have to have it completely restored back to they way it was i didnt have a option to even order like the evo8 front end which pissed me off

 

Luckily for me my parents are the banks #3 people on their revenue chart... so they know my parents can pay it off... they'll def. trust my parents... if they don't well oh well... but they should...

But my parents and Insurance are with my plus the guy thats doing it is best friends with my dad. So i'm lucking out all over...

 

Good to hear someones getting treated decent. I hope everything works out for you.

Yes, Insurance is cutting me a check and all i have to do is tell the body shop what i want done.... ... They're PAYING FOR THE KIT, FENDERS, SPOILER, Hood! (evo8 kit and extreme fenders from accolade) AND THE METALLIC BLUE PAINT JOB I"M GETTING!!!!

 

WOOHOO! Sounds awesome. Maybe you can even coax them into doing some install pix. Are you going to go with the CF hood and paint over it as well? It must be nice living in the state of brotherly love... Cool insurance people AND the best hoagies! I still can't figure out how there's a Subway in PA... Back to topic. Good luck with the kit and keep up posted w/ pix!
