So I'm at work on the beach today and I hear a familiar car alarm sound in the distance. So I walk over to it and find a Yukon XL sitting on the hood of my car! Grrrrrrrr.....my cf hood is cracked, the bumper has a nice scratch and my grill is cracked.

The guy who backed into me was asking how much the hood was. I told him I paid $800 for it. He was like well I'll give you a check for $1000 and we can call it even? Heck no!!! I also have to get my front bumper fixed now and get a new grill.

The pisser about this whole thing is that I park way out at the end of the employee parking lot. At least 100 feet from anyone else. He shouldn't have even been in the parking lot. I dunno how out of all of that space, he ended up hitting me.


Now for a few pics....

Not if its a Seibon hood. A VIS hood however that $1000 would have made work.

Figure:
VIS OEM Style Hood - $460
Altezza Grille - $64.95
OEM Replica Bumper - 69
Paint/Labor - $270
Total = $863.95

tuner04civic 08-12-2005 12:59 AM

Al Gore FTW 08-12-2005 02:34 AM

damn man that sucks. people that try to pay you off are bastards

WhiteCastle 08-12-2005 03:10 AM

go to a body shop get a qoute and he has to pay it. Simple if he doesnt pay it, turn it into insurence..Dont bother with it, its his problem not yours. he hit your car..He pays the end

ciVictoria 08-12-2005 03:26 AM

That sucks man you can't leave your car anywhere with out someone messing it up.

Ichiban 08-12-2005 03:51 AM

The thing with insurance is unless you have the aftermarket part under insurance they will not pay for it. They will only pay for OEM parts.

Wrong.....Since he hit me, no matter what I had on my car his insurance will have to pay for it so that it can put my car back to the way it was. To make it whole or as whole as possible.

dayam homie, that sux!!! hopefully it works out so that u can get it all fixed up for ya!

blouisgod 08-12-2005 07:02 AM

800 for a cf hood????

genx_7 08-12-2005 07:09 AM

Why do you need a new bumper? It can be repaired. If you went through insurance they are not going to replace the front bumper for that damage. Sucks it happened though. But at least it wasn't a hit and run.

R1Style 08-12-2005 09:48 AM

Sh!tty... hope everything works out for you.

drew22mader 08-12-2005 10:04 AM

You could have it appraised at a shop for alot more and then have them cut the check and you could go somewhere else to have it done cheaper. CF hood and bumper grille paint, and then left over money for some mods.

kirks04ex 08-12-2005 10:10 AM

that really sucks

dirtySAMURAI 08-12-2005 10:34 AM

wtf!? i would've told the guy to take his check and shove it up his ass. $1000 won't pay for shit.

ragingSPAM 08-12-2005 10:52 AM

^^ thats rite u gotta milk him for his money...tell him its a $1000 hood, $700 for bumper replacement and paint, and $300 for the grill and like a bunch for labor charges

vietstylez 08-12-2005 12:10 PM

lol 800 for the cf hood is ridiculous, i paid 350 for my vis and have had no problems at all, i also got a oem style front bumper for 70 and my altezza grill off ebay for 30


hood: 460
bumper: 70
grill: 30

total: 560 + labor

you just gotta know where to shop.. then again you are playing it safe so thats cool too

djmota 08-12-2005 01:12 PM

It could have been worse. the guy could have been an ass and took off on you. Hey at least it will get taken care of.

AzNmiKex215 08-12-2005 01:50 PM

well atleast the guy was there, in philadelphia The person woulda been long gone, they woulda been gone even faster if they saw you comming to check.

hahah so true. in philly you could be sitting in your car, get hit and by the time you turn to see what happened they would already be gone.

anyway, sucks what happened. i hope you call the police and gotten a police report just in case you have to deal with insurence.

drew22mader 08-12-2005 02:47 PM

You should have been like, $2000 and you won't here from me again, thanks and have a good day.

NoiSe 08-12-2005 03:43 PM
