Ok and alot of other people traded their VIII's for a IX because they made more power, your must be among the slower crowd.

This isnt the 1950's, we have unibodys cars these days for a reason.
I understand your frustuation, I see you got an 03 evo thats probably the reason. It's ok dude, one day you'll be able to get something better. Don't you dare loose hope, everything will be just fine. Life is full of ups and down.....

Actually im quite happy with my 03. I make the same amount of power as the 9's with same basic mods..dyno sheets to prove... what are the IX"s discontinued or something..? Because if I really wanted one I would have one...most people who could afford to buy their 03's new, can afford to buy an 06 new dip****.

Just looks at your wording "quite happy", usually the same exact word that emotionally dristress people used. Don't you dare give up, call a friend if you need somebody to talk to. It'll be alright my friend.

Yea from what I can tell its not too bad, but he hit my car at an angle and it kinda of twisted the front end a bit, according to a first glance by the body shop guys. We'll see, I will be over there tommorrow after they take some stuff apart to take a closer look.

I hear ya man, if it was bad enough to need a new car, I would rather get a 05. Nobody has had much experience with the mivec.

What you can do most of the time is just go with a body shop that you are familiar with or know. Have them quote the insurance company, and then tell the insurance company to cut the check out to you. If the insurance company still refuses, just have the body shop you know order the parts you want, and not the stock ones.
