Unhappy Hit a big truck, need front end parts...

While on my daily commut to work, A big chevy truck slammed into the car in front of him. All i could do was slam on the brakes and pray. Well, I only hit the truck at 30 mph, but he had a big sqaure hitch hanging from his bumper, and it took out the radiator, hood, front bumper, and one headlight. not to mention some support structures...

So, I am in need of a cwest bumper and carbon hood for the evo8, and I dont want to wait 4-6 weeks. Anyone have one in stock?

Also, I want some trick headlights, The only thing I can find is the JDM ones, that have the orange blinker in a different place. Anyone know of some good headlight swaps?

And finnaly, I am replacing the IC with the greddy r-spl, and the radiator with one from PWR. What do you guys think?

I believe I have a pic of our front mount in a C-West front end if you might be interested in seeing it. I was just throwing out another option for you. Please let me know. Thanks

I am going through the same thing right now - my car has been in the shop for over a month. Took forever to get some of the parts.

It's mostly done now, but I needed to have my ins and the body shop work out some problems with paint blending. It turns out that Tarmac Black was tough for them to match. The end result is that they need to paint blend all the way back through the front doors. I should have the car back next week.

Sorry for the rant - I hope you don't have to wait 6 weeks for your car to be back on the road.

Try the GIALLA front bumper...IMO the best out there, especially since you are getting a new bigger FMIC. The Gialla has a larger intercooler opening...
