life is over... kill me... its the end of the world... life sucks...

you should have spent your $$ on go-fast items instead of "make my car look fast" items (rice). Intakes, Headers, Real Exhausts (not gay tips), turbos, ignitions, etc.. those things don't break when you get in a fender bender.

*me hates rice*

Check the radiator and coolant overflow tanks, and also pull the bumper and look in the drivers side right in front of the tire, that's where the windshield wiper fluid tank is hidden. It might have come loose or cracked in the accident. Also if you want to be really sure, take it to have an alignment checked, if it hasn't changed you might not have any unibody damage (hopefully you don't have any anyhow, it doesn't look too bad).

Now that I look at it again, the drivers side didn't look like it got touched, but check the radiator though, it might have taken a hit, just find a shop to run a coolant system compression test.

Oh yeah, sorry for being a dick in that last message, it looked like you had clear corners on it. If you DID have clear corners, then you should have the stock ones laying around, go get 'em and put them back on.

i have quite a few go fast items. check out this thread: here for all my mods and a before pic before i smashed her. look under engine. i'm doing everything in moderation. i want a show & go car. not going for one or the other. i'm going for both. don't forget i'm only 17 (as of dec.25) and i work at WALGREENS @ minimum wage ($6.40/hr here in CT). i know i need a new job, and if i made good money, my car would be ultimate. because money is my only setback.

[SwtNLowShanna]

you've done a good job on yr car with a Walgreens min wage job... who cares abt what ppl say abt rice.. I always say- there is no Honda hook-up rulebook..

The body shop I use is in East Hartford... They are really good.. But I dont know if u'd wanna travel the, what is it, 1/2 hr-45 min? Let me know if u'd like their name....

Always remember: If you are driving an automobile in any condition, your are doing better than the guy who's putting miles on his Nike's.

Anyways, glad to hear you're over the initial shock, sorry about your car, and good luck re-doing it. Even in the crash pics it looks like it's a beautiful car.

On the bright side: If you've ever wished people wouldn't park next to you in a crowded shopping area, your wish will come true until your car is fixed

[j.fuggi]

they would have a hard time anyway... i try to park euro across at least 2 handicapped spaces at all times even with the smash. i got a nasty letter the other say saying 'fix it loser blah blah' by some hot chicks

[D16 V-TEC]

I can't wait to see how your car is going to look when its all fixed. I liked it a lot before the crash, hopefully you can make it just as nice, or better . BTW, How close to Farfield County is West Haven? LOL I have no sense of direction.

[j.fuggi]

hopefully i can get some $ together and fix the damn thing. fairfield isn't to far. i think its far but i mean.. within 20 minutes or something on the meritt pkway.

[D16 V-TEC]

Anything under an hour is close IMO . Maybe we can meet up some time and cruise around (maybe after i get some look-nice mods ).

[j.fuggi]

yea man... why not? i know a few girls that live in fairfield. and i went to a party not too long ago in fairfield and i got lost in easton or something. very dark windy road it was. lol

good damn news! i've put together roughly $1500 from the past week or so of working :angel:. so i'm now planning the following:

$400 yokohama parada tires to go with the tenzo-r av7 17" rims sitting in my room
$300 (estimated) for my zenith 2 front bumper if sparq makes a few calls for me as he said he'd do when he returns from vacation on jan 6th
$25-$100 new fender possibly from ebay or a junkyard to save cash.
(my head and corner lights + bulbs are already paid for that came to about $190 but that's not coming out of the $1500)
now the hood i'm still really unsure of. everyone here says get OEM style carbon fiber, but all my other non-import loving friends say black hood on all white car will look stupid. so here is the following:
OEM style hood: $498 shipped
Honda hood: used $50 new $250
i may need a new front bulkhead and hinge for the hood, not sure yet though. that is $63 and $12 respectivly.

hopefully i can use whatever money i have left to paint the parts. and depending on which i get i may have close to $400 left or $250. but if i have $250 left i wont have to paint my hood. and will it really cost $250+ to paint a fender and bumper?

also good news is i have a friend of my moms who works at J&M autobody here in CT. probably have to stop by there and get a quote. if that fails i have a friend of my aunts who has a body shop here in west haven too. hopefully i have enough money to complete the fix.

thursday has snow in the forcast i'll get to my next problem in a new thread.

theres the update for this tragedy.

[Scarri]

If it make you feel any better look what my brother did to my car the day before xmas yet it sucks bad this is about 3k worth of damage which i have to take a loan out to pay for but on the bright side i'm getting CTR headlight to replace the broke ones

[j.fuggi]

damn. i still have no money to fix. and i already have a loan taken out from buying the car itself!

[Tricked out DelSol]

the damage doesn't look to bad. I thought your car was totaled. It'll be ok. First things first. Take it to a mechanic and check it out. Your body will be temp. but your engine is not.
I can see why your really upset...i'd be crying if i got into a wreck. How's the damage on your friends car? and how is he paying?

Open your hood and look at your internal damages. Your radiator, intake, your fluids are important, any oil leaking. Stuff like that.
