Your Post

Sorry to hear about your car, unfortanetly that is why the dang insurance for the EVO is so damn high, too many people wrecking them. In this case not your fault, and I am happy to hear that, but for most cases at least here in California, it get a bunch a brat rich kids driving like bats out of hell causing wrecks...I am just glad to finally hear a story of a "not at fault" accident. Hope you find a good bodyshop, and make sure they put on the aluminum fender and not an aftermarket metal one......I am seen that happen.........anyway, good luck.

Yeah, I know there are a lot of EVOs wrecked. I've owned one for almost 4 years now, and this is the first accident in one for me. Now that I think about it, I've never been in an accident before. Man this sucks being without my car. I'll definitely make sure OEM parts are put on it. If I need to replace the hood, though, i going with a CF hood.

Hey Mark! I tried calling you yesterday to tell you, but you were busy. It's not that bad. I should have it back in a week, good as new (since it still is new). BTW, did you ever talk with your friend at Audio Outlet? I need to put in an aftermarket stereo!

I am thankful, believe me. I kinda felt bad for the girl I hit, since she only has liability; and she was hot. Oh well. I may be getting a new intercooler out of it. The body shop found a slight dent in the top and are replacing it. If I can get my insurance company to agree to it, I'll be putting on an aftermarket one! And I'm still waiting on pics from the body shop. I would go by and take some pics, but the front end is all apart now.

Thats because just about the whole front of the evo is aluminum except the bumper...and aluminum is expensive since they are difficult to bend.
