Well long story short, was just cruising along rochdale when some lady in a jetta decides to slam on her brakes, which having a car behind her does the same thing. at the time i was looking at this car that was trying to squeeze in behind me and my buddy who was passenger yelled stop. Before you know it rear ended the bonneville infront which sent it into the jetta. Sad part is it happened at liek 25km/h and i took the most damage. All they got was paint scratches and i got smashed, bumper,headlight,grill, hood, and who knows what else.


Now the time to help me decide which new front bumper, early i was thinkin a 99-01 cobra with the mach 1 spoiler on it but wanted to see what else.


****pics later

Pic time, I kno it doesnt look that bad but its a camera phone so you dont see everything like you would in person. Btw when you look at it from the side the bumper is angled upwords, kinda like a plow since thats what i did




Dont mind the tape lol, i just need it so i can make it somewhere at night when i need to otherwise its staying in the garage cause its damn ugly

Do it through your insurance. You pay 700 and the rest is covered.

You should only have to pay the insurance deductable once for all the damage.

Sorry to hear that. Personally I wouldn't use the Mach 1 chin spoiler on the 99/01 Cobra bumper. It doesn't line up right and I think it just looks plain weird! Here's my 01 Cobra bumper kit:

You probably won't be able to find the complete kit anymore and will have to acquire all the components separately. Check out bumpers.com for decent deals on the bumper itself.

I know that Bennett is around $400 to have a hood repainted.

As with anything, shop around. Personally, I've found Bennett's body shop to be expensive.

Some **** spray painted the hood on my 02. Bennett wanted 90 bucks to clean it. I took it to an independant shop who charged me $15 for 5 minutes of using a clay bar on it.

I need a new windshield in my 05. An OEM one from bennett was over 600 dollars installed. I could get a generic one from speedy installed for around 300 and an OEM one installed for around 350.

Just my 2 cents, though.

Who cares what they charge. Bennett's body shop does good work. And if you are going through insurance what difference does it make?

Like I said you only pay one deductable for all the damage. Not one for yours and one for the other cars.
