Ok so i got into a little drunk fender bender...... with a stationary pole. I was backing out and i cut my wheels to far and snaged it right on the passenger side. where the fender meets my headlight/front bumper. I live in Texas evacuated for that god damn hurricane, to austin ended up having to get rid of the right headlight casing and had to zip tie the bumper back on.... YIKES!!! i know. I had to drive around with out a front bumper for a few hours or so, so i think i lost part of the bumper clip. I orderd a new body kit for it. new carbon fiber fenders, carbon fiber durafelx bumper, side skirts, back bumper. What is everything that i need to be able to get the new front bumper on my car? how much is a whole new bumper clip (meaning everything needed to get it on there the way its suppose to be.

Ill take pictures of it the car before and after im sure you'll all love it.

well the passanger fender is all ****ed to **** so i decided to get a new pair , but uhhh yeah pretty much thats whats going on. I was going to put a body kit on it anyway, and why buy the oem stock bumper -_- when i would turn around and buy a body kit waiste more money and effort so this is what im doing how much do you guys think the bumper clip stuff would cost. i might have to replace the lineing of the fender well or whatever the casing around your tires you know

Exactly. I got a bodyshop quote in my hands for a new bumper but I don't feel like helping you.

Well i was in a parking lot trying to find a place to sleep, it wasnt like i was driving the streets just trying to get out of someones parking space to pull across the parking lot to pass out...long story, B-2 Front Bumper. I was no danger to anyone just a pole

well, I'm not going to get into the debate which might/will happen very soon, but I will tell you, that when you get a body it, normally you would re-use as much of the stock hardware to get the new bumper on. As for me, I never do, they're just a bunch of plastic tabs and crap...I always go to the hardware store, and get some kind of screw and bolt and clasp, whatever. The body kit might come with some screws, but nothing that wonderful.

You can be charged with D.W.I. if you're asleep in the back of your car with your keys in your pocket. You need only to be in control of the vehicle. So if a cop had found you and woken you up, you go to jail.

depends on your location... aren't you allowed to drink in canada at 18?

here in California, i believe you're ok as long as the keys are not in the ignition...

Federal legal age for Canada is 18 and so is the case in most provinces. But a lot of provinces (most out east) have their own law of 19.

Quebec and Alberta are the only ones that are 18 the rest are 19

Well they wanted to but i pretty much told them to suck on my *******, i evacuated from a hurricane , i had no place to sleep. and the shelters were already closed. they couldnt do a damn thing to me and i loved everysecond of it. people in texas drive drunk everywhere they go and not give a **** just not me

I was about to leave you alone with your thread but I now feel the need to point out that you knew this and still made the decision to go get drunk. How about taking care of your priorities before getting wasted?

Well listen here , i know that it doesnt sound like the brightest thing. Here me out i am not a ****ing dumb ***. Dont flame me for hitting a pole, **** yeah i got waisted, was i driving around town? no... was i on the streets no.... are cops in texas *******s and will they harrass you for just about anything yes..... could they legally of done something to me, yes they could have. but even some ******* cops understood the situation i was in and left me alone.. now i think if a god damn police officer felt it was in his dire to leave someone alone because of that situation what makes you think im not gonna call you a idiot for making your own conclusions of what was happening at that time??....???? i was simply sharing a story of unfortunate events, and inquiring on this body kit buisness

well it was obviously too far of a drive across the parking lot for you if you couldnt see a damn pole! If you couldn't see a pole then you probably wouldn't have seen a person. I don't care the reason...if i have alcohol in me i don't touch the drivers seat of a car.

I've got to agree. You shouldn't take any of these comments as flaming. Friends don't let friends drink and drive. Remember the commercials? Civic owning friends,

 
Rep Power: 277

I wasn't saying anything about you drinking and driving, there's other people here to do that. I was merely pointing out your inability to distinguish between the importance of making it to the shelter on time and going to get wasted.

**** happens. While it might not have been the best idea to drive a couple of feet in your car while you were drunk, what's done is done. I'm sure he learned his lesson, I'm not going to sit here and preach to him.

Props on not trying to get on the streets to drive home or look for a place to sleep. I can understand someone completely sober sideswiping a car/pole in a parking lot because they turned too early while backing out. Heck, it puts me on edge sometimes the way some of my friends pull out of parking spaces. We are more entrained to focus on other cars/ people when checking our surroundings... poles are easy to miss, especially low rusty ones at night


You can get cheap clips at www.hondaautomotiveparts.com but shipping is like $6-8 so get everything you ever needed for your car before ordering... such as air filters, oil filters etc.

Good luck on the repairs and show us pics when you're done.
