Some girl pulled directly out in front of me several weeks ago on wet streets. Nothing I could do to avoid her, and I hit her at about 5mph. She was driving a '90 corrolla, and I hit her side. The entire side of her car was pushed in, and the door barely shut. My car came out with the scratches on the bumper TRIM as shown. I was very lucky that is all the damage, and got some money to 'repair' it with.
Does this look like $820 of damage to you? That is what it would cost to pull the front bumper, sand it, paint it (dual color), and put it back on.
Anyway, the previous thread was inspired by the thought that I would have some money to spend on my car, and I am going to contiue it now with a better poll.
I definatly want to do something about the scratches. Most of my trim is in bad shape, so I would like to have it repainted. I imagine we are talking about ~100-200 dollars there if I pulled the trim and put it back on (and did some basic prep work).
I guess that leaves me with 6-700 to spend as I chose (plus whatever I feel nescariy to add from my savings acocount
) Vote for what you think would be money well spent. (T5 swap is not an option!). Look in my sig if you want a refresher on what my car looks like.
