Good Day Gone Sour…..(Pictures included)

What was supposed to be a fun day of me and girlfriend going on a cruise with some locals…..ended up giving me a headache and I was rear ended!!!

The cops were called and luckily the guy had insurance and hopefully they will fix everything

So here are some pictures….

Everything will work out just fine. Maybe look into getting a JDM rear bumper and crash beam as a replacement...

Well what ever money I get….Yes I want a JDM rear bumper and I'll probably just put the parts off the forum and have a shop mount them correctly and use the rest of the money to get a tune up

It could be a lot worse, they might have even done you a favor

I second all the comments in here lol. I sometimes find myself wishing for a minor rear ender so I can get a JDM rear.

That sucks....

. At least you got a new one

Feel your pain here, at least there is a bright side! Did you get rear ended by someone in your group? I hate cruising with randoms or people who don't know how to properly cruise.

Evofreak its not that bad at all actually. I have a IX now but when I had an 8 once I got rearended on the off ramp of the highway. The girl was turned around yelling at her kid in the backseat on an off ramp....so anyways one thing I can tell you is under the trunk there are two frame rails that were bent and those had to be replaced, welded new ones in place of bent ones. Those were special order from Japan and took like a month to come in. Your's looks worse then mine did and I had to have those rails replaced so I suspect you will have to as well. But overall its not that bad and nowhere even remotely close to a total. You will probably have it fixed within a month at most. +1 on getting the jdm rear btw!!!!!
