there was no one behind me when i came back.

i know its not as bad as some of the ss out there, but it still hurts to see her like that.

anyways my question is should i call the insurance, this is my first time being in this situation. or just get it fix. does anyone know around what price is decent.

appreciate your help guys/gals

The shroud around the exhaust is about $30.
The bumper, if it's bothering you, can be repaired by a body shop. It's not necessary to replace it.

Olive Garden have cameras...find that piece of garbage and make the recession a little harder for them.

QFT!! :lol:

First, go back to olive garden and go to where you parked. See if there is a camera that might have caught it, and if there is, try to get a copy of that tape. Next, take it down to your local body shop and get a quote. If it's cheaper to fix it out of pocket then to pay the deductable, pay out of pocket. I would try to get the guy who did it and make them pay for it. Good Luck.

Might be able to find it cheaper???????

Find the M-Fckrs and make the pay!!!!!!!!

+1 on getting the video tape. Justice must be exacted on the hit and runners of the world.

j67345 02-16-2009 06:08 PM

Hopefully they got it on video...go after that piece of trash if they've got it!!

oh no the cure has struck. Dude get the cam footage.

lepichichi 02-16-2009 06:32 PM

damn that sucks dude, happy v-tines day!

Easy_E1 02-16-2009 06:53 PM

It will be a comprehensive claim on your insurance. Doesn't count against you or your premium. (So they say) So what ever the deductible is that you have. A GOOD bodyshop should be able to fix that no problem.

ndhoffma 02-16-2009 10:53 PM

At least the black plastic on the bumper seems to be OK... I had someone hit my car in pretty much the same spot, but they punched a hole in the black textured plastic in the bumper as well, so the whole thing had to be replaced; like Easy said, you should be able to get that patched up so long as its just the painted portion

I got lucky though, they reported it to the police, so I was able to get them to pay for the repair.

dondo 02-16-2009 11:29 PM

claim it under uninsured motorists and it'll cost a couple hundred bucks. doesn't count against you either.

Bumble_Bee 02-17-2009 12:01 AM

Ouch! Sorry... :(

JGR4444 02-17-2009 12:14 AM

if you do decide to just get it fixed lemme know how much that rear bumper repair is going to cost because i have something very similar im looking to get fixed (yes im a part of the ss curse :-(.... sorry about that man... i hate people who arent honest, if you do something own up to it

Oh boy....

Stenobeth 02-17-2009 07:51 PM

Is the silver curse just on RX-8s? Because I had over 100k miles on my silver Integra and was never hit once.

Damn, did I just jinx myself by saying that? :Eyecrazy:

05rex8 02-17-2009 07:55 PM

paulmasoner 02-17-2009 07:56 PM
