like someone else said, get the estimate for OEM parts, take the check, source the parts yourself, do what work you can, and with the money you save, go to an autocross/trackday/driving school so you don't end up in a ditch somewhere. oh, and stop crying like a lil biznitch.
haha i agree with you man. How do you crash while not going fast.. without being wreckless or knowing how to drive.. Sorry, i guess i can make his boo-boos feel better like everyone else. You probably just made some mistake, in which i retract my 'learn to drive' comment.

But, for you man, try posting in the WTB/FS forum. Check Craigslist and stuff like that. Ive seen some hoods on here go for about 300 dollars. Just look around man.

I wrecked my BMW once and I felt the same way. I then just modded the crap out of the car once i wrecked it. Did that to my bike too. Sucked! The worst part is staring at the aftermath the next day. Good luck bro, glad you're ok!

I think the actual point is that the guy knows he screwed up. What good does it do for some douche bag to tell him to learn to drive? “Wow, what great and helpful information thanks for that. Super great help guys.”


What was the use in saying learn to drive other than being a douche? It provided nothing useful to the thread did it?

The same use as your post. No use at all. I dropped it, but why bring it up? Nevermind, don't answer that.

Sometimes douche bags require the same douche bag treatment? That is the reason for my post.

I was mostly pointing out that the other poster was a douche though. Maybe if I hit the nerve I did it is saying something. Ask yourself who was the douche firtst

Well put. My wife and I t-boned some lady who ran a red light about 6 years ago and there was nothing we could do. It was raining and on the highway when it happened. Luckily we had a few people stop and give statements to police that supported what we described.

To the OP, good luck getting it back together and just make sure you use all oem parts and ask around as to which shops are recommended.
