Today, I ran over a tree due to my only escape route (the other lane) blocked by a oncoming car. I'm fine, and the car is 95% fine, except for a couple scratches and at the VERY bottom of the bumper is pushed up and in a little bit. I need a damage estimate, please. Attached is a crappy picture.

That is a pretty crappy picture LOL. Must have been a pretty tiny tree? Really tough to tell without seeing more; what does the radiator support look like from under the car?

Yea I know lol, a flashlight was my light souce. I will have to really look, I just about pissed myself when I ran over that thing man. I think it was a branch that did that acutally, have to get up under it to investigate to see. My uncle said that the bumpers done for, half of the supports appear to be busted. I guess it's hello stalker front bumper. Can you get a stalker bumper to work fine on a LX? They said you couldn't, that you needed gt moldings.

Thanks.

Well, it's much worse. My dad being a mechanically inclined guy did a very thorough inspection and found out my passenger side mirror is busted out, the fender is barely bowed out (I kinda thought it was messed, but it looked pretty fine, so I said its fine) and theres a couple scratches on the door and roof. Also a cut on the wheel, but I want ponies anyway

Also, how much is gt moldings?

Not much to go on, but that doesn't look too bad; that fender doesn't appear to be a loss either. Best thing you can do will be to run the car to multiple body shops and get a few estimates; some will certainly be higher than others.

I'm getting Advance Auto to orde rme a new sideview mirror on passengers side, dealership wants $53 bucks?! No way lol, $18 from Advance. Fender looks to just be bent in, the plan was to have the car shot over in paint anyway since it was faded once I get the $.

Good deal. In that case, you may as well hunt down a nice, straight LX front bumper to replace your old one in a junkyard too while you have time.

Yeah, I was thinking stalker, but $500 bucks, it's going to be close . I got 950 bucks to work with so its more mods, or cool bumper. The bumper I got wouldn't be so bad if it didn't break the supports and it would pop back out, oh well.

Hey, where in N.C. are you? I'm in Florence, SC and have alot of what you would need. I completely disassembled my wrecked 90' GT and have most of the parts left. I used all the GT's body stuff to put on my 91' LX, so I have a bunch of the LX body stuff too. I have an LX bumper, supports, fenders, etc,etc.... This kind of stuff would be a hassle to try and ship, but if we're close enough we could meet halfway and pay no shipping.
Let me know if you're interested and what you think you will need.
