Wow $300 for the SE front lip?!? I was quoted $171 for it. You should go in and get a re-quote or become friends with the parts guy or girl.

It should - the guy has been honest about his bad judgment, admits it was bad judgment, and is going to pay out of pocket to fix it. Seems to be a stand-up individual at that point.

ur lucky u weren't killed u idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from the pics it looks merely cosmetic but if i were u, i would get it on a lift & check for further damage.

when ppl like u crash, it not only makes everyone elses ins rates go up, but it forces the cops to keep a closer eye on EVO's. like they need help with that one...

already did at my buddys place. No damage, all looks good. And im not claming anything, my deductibles like 500, but even then i would not claim it.

My car had goodyear eaglegrip ultras, pretty good snow tire. i was just goin to fast. If i had my advans and it was not slick it would be no problem.

lesson learned, im just glad it was cheap
