Unhappy ouchies

Well my dad was backing up and wasnt looking to his left side..now there's a nice scuff mark that runs along the whole car. there's no real damage except for the mirror which is almost completely shattered. 7 years bad luck? anyways, it's nothing bad, just some scratches..

im sure you can get the black out pretty easily, it just depends on how much paint he actually took off. once you get the black off maybe you can see what you need to do exactly, but it really doesnt look that bad.

as for the mirror i guess just make him pay for it.

i doubt it.. but unless you have a low deductible, you might as well milk the insurance for all their worth

yea might as well try to get a whole kit from rushkits.com.. coz their kits only retail for 499 plus shipping.. so if your car shop is cool about it, they'll 'over-quote' the damages and just give you an invoice of over whatever amount the kit is plus damages.

Just be glad you don't have my sister's luck, her lancer got backed into and her hood is completely ****ed!

Good news is we might use the insurance $$ to buy my a CF hood and I'll give her mine.

got the whole side fixed + a little dent from a branch falling on the car. they did a pretty good job except now the sideskirt isnt on there perfectly..is it just held there by double sided tape? if someone could tell me that'll be great.

anyways, here's a couple pics so u can see that it's perfect now lol
