Perfect Condition OEM RIMS, HOOD & FRONT BUMPER

I was recently rear ended by an irresponsible driver whose insurance company is refusing to compensate me for my aftermarket rear bumper. To cover the cost difference I am hoping to sell some of my OEM parts. All parts are in immaculate condition as I almost immediately upgraded as soon as the 8 was in my possession. I am currently selling a set of 4 OEM Rims with brand new Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems. The rims are without tires however. I am also selling my OEM Brilliant Black hood and OEM Front Bumper (Non Appearance PKG) *fog lights included. If anyone is interested I am also looking to sell my OEM rear bumper. Im asking $525 for all 4 virtually new rims and all 4 TPMS. Im looking to get $200 for the front bumper and $200 for the hood. Since everything is in almost untouched condition I'm not too open to low offers. All parts were taken off the car after only several thousand miles. The rear bumper is the only part with surface damage, it is not cracked in the least and sustained damage from a mere shopping kart. Im a bit of a perfectionist and had to get it swapped. (was looking for an excuse to put on an aftermarket bumper) Im almost giving the bumper away for $100. Will post up pics soon. Haven't gotten around to waxing it yet. Message me for more photos at a higher resolution. Serious buyers only please.

**Update:
Rims have been sold.
If anyone is willing to meet up to exchange parts I will knock off a bit of the price because its more convenient for me. PM me if you are in the area and are interested.

Sorry about your bad luck, but how can an insurance company refuse to fix your car back to how it was? Good luck with selling all that stuff.

The whole thing was a nightmare. After running into me, (not at a stop light but rather stop and go traffic!) clearly flustered she comes knocking at my window and says I think I ran into you, and I just think to myself, no **** lady. My first mistake was not calling the cops, considering I did all the work to the 8 myself I knew roughly how much damage she had done and agreed to settle it between ourselves. After deciding our meeting place and time, she fails to show up entirely. Her husband (a used car sales man) schedules another meeting where he shoves his insurance information in my face and says, "no point paying out my ***". After first giving me a few false numbers, I finally got ahold of her insurance company who immediately decided not to reimburse me for an aftermarket part and low balled me $1000 dollars. Main point, if you have aftermarket parts on your car and get in an accident, unless you have reciepts for all of them they WILL NOT compensate you.

always call the cops.

always.

i got sued (unsuccessfully) over an accident that was not my fault. if i had called the cops. it would not have happened. it was quite a nightmare and a colossal waste of my time.

You're absolutely right though as far as calling the cops. My original idea was to settle the cost of the collision between myself and the other driver because I was unsure if her insurance company would compensate me for the aftermarket part. I ended up not calling the cops because of that and got screwed over when she changed her mind. After some fighting I finally called her insurance company and they didn't want to hear it.

Im trying to look at it this way, life throws you some curves. If it didn't...I would have bought a mustang
