Accident with plow truck UPDATE - pics on 2
My wife got into an accident yesterday with one of those huge county plow trucks. Totally his fault; he backed into her. The damage is all from his salt spreader.
I've always liked the clean OEM look, but now I'm thinking a carbon fiber hood might look nice on white. Another thought was to get the Hybrid bumper. The thing that sucks is that now I'm stuck with one cleared headlight.


I need a new radiator too, so I'm thinking Koyo. I know a stock one would be sufficient, but hey why not get something out of this mess.
Any other thoughts?

your new mirrors wouldn't have a white base flange like those on the hybrid - they're black. though the rest is white.

if the city / insurance is paying for it may aswell have the entire car repainted, my body shop said for a proper paint job it be about 2-2.5 grand cdn. Could get your self a nice custom color

Probably looking at like a grand to paint just the new peices.

Be sure to choose a reputable paint shop, dont go to macco or some crap like that

and btw, stay away from CF


good photoshop work

dont be too mad at the city, if those trucks are anywhere as near as the trucks we have here in Toronto, I can understand a driver not being able to see your white car on a snowy day.
