So im driving down the highway, just got dark out, peice of metal comes flying up at my car, i knew i hit it, get home, see the carnage. DAMMIT!! I am pissed. $300 deductable, dont have the money right now, how the hell do i get this fixed now.

Sweet... hit the roof too..

Dang, right threw the grilles. Looks like a minor accident though so be glad it didn't destroy your front end. Is there any more damage that we are not seeing below the Pontiac emblem?

All the more excuse for roof rails. Jk btw, looks like you will have to take to body shop and order some new grilles too.

Nope i think thats it, i didnt really see anything else on the bumper. But i might as well have them paint the SD lip while im at it.

And the guy that does these grills lives down the road from me. So ill get those cheap anyway.

What you going to do about that hood? I had a similar look on my hood when I hit a guy from behind (his trailer hitch went into my hood) and I had to get a whole new hood (that's why I went with WS6). As for your situation it doesn't seem as severe as mine (mine was up a bit more on hood and was a deep mark).

I would say they would have to buff out your bumper to get those scratches out but you may have to have it entirely redone.

Bumper has to be redone, its dug into the plastic.

thats a bummer, your car seems to be a magnet for damage. soory to hear

sorry man. funny how it has to barely catch the hood too... nothings ever easy..

couldve been worse, what if it went right through the grille and punched a hole through the radiator?

You got lucky dude. Sucks I know the feeling but you got damn lucky.

Somebody's gotta say it...

That will buff right out!

Yours makes the fourth damaged silver GP I've seen in the last two weeks..I spotted one in traffic with the passenger fender and door all mangled up; window frame was bent outward, but the glass was intact (go figure). Around here, if the deer don't get you, the idiot drivers will.

Good news, No Deductible! Going to get body shop quotes now!

It's not another damaged GP, it's the same GP damaged again.

1st Estimate: $1285.93

2nd Estimate: $1757.85

Wow, that sucks. Are you going to go through insurance? If so, they won't be happy...

Yes i am. Already have a claim made, i have full coverage with comprehensive, i pay my insurance for a reason, for when this happens, so they can suck it. Its getting fixed for free. (free for me)

Hahahahaha.....Can't argue with that logic.

haha yepp...when my gtp got totalled they gave me $9400, and i bought it back for 750..lol so yea having full coverage does have its benefits...so far i have 2200 into the car and parts and its almost done haha

Hey, you are not alone. My car was part of damage too.

My fault.

On November 3rd, since you all know I work night shift. I get up early morning to take picture of my mom's new house project that she want to share with her family. I always knew the driveway was empty since no one live that house yet. I never knew that men left trailer behind in the driveway. Yes, I'm that idiot. I look at rear mirror and see garage but never seen trailer since my SD wing block some view. No one is perfect. Laugh at me if you want lol

car vs. trailer... who win?


trailer win





I got worried that I might get new rear bumper until I asked Todd "FLIP" from gpona told me he can fix it for me next year. I feel better. Also, it will be good time to paint lower black with silver letter on bottom for black/silver theme.

I'm moving back to my dad in few weeks later. He is very old so I have to be there and take care of him. That's mean no apt rent, no cable, no phone line bill and power bill. It would save me lot of money. I'm thinking get rid of my PFYC F1 hood and get real steel hood MPD F1 hood with "honeycomb grille". Still think about that.

Get a written estimate ,most insurance co's will pay out for the damage minus the deductable then do the work yourself ,you should actually put some money in your pocket.Chico(pops)

X2 get to know some autobody people. I got a 3k estimate and I spent 1300 to get it fixed so money in my pocket!

Oh trust me, ive got that figured out Just waiting on an insurance quote tomorrow and see how much they are going to cut a check for, i hope its a nice one instead of the $500 one last time i basically got shafted on

$1460.55 in my pocket, time for an SD hood

thought u wanted an f1 hood?

He doesn't want get F1 hood for twin car as mine so good choice.

Idk yet, depends on what i pay for one. Looking at a Carbon Fiber F1 right now from a guy in Canada.

I like your car w/o a hood imho.

No that car needs a hood badly. It looks ugly without one. That and a set of rims lol.

No offense but a hood whether it be SD or F1 would compliment that car amazingly.

That must've been a huge check, damn. I'm just waiting for someone to rear end me

Or just live with the slight visual damage and get some go fast mods.

Depending on price, idk what hood im gonna go with, but i WILL be getting one in a days or the next coming week.

Definitely not gonna do that, Im content with the go fast part, its time for a hood, ill still have money left over, gotta pay off my laptop though. Thats about it.

Then give a few months for the mod bug to kick in..

He means hes done with go fast parts for now so he is concentrating on appearance. He has some pretty sweet goals for that car.

I see, well get a carbon fiber hood so you get some functionality out of it.

ZZP's TTGT has this hood, wonder what it would look like on my silver car

that place is within walking distance from my parents house...random post done

I WANT THE COWL! I have wanted one forever... When did that place pop up, Jeremy?

Not sure, i found it when searching for a hood.

Cowl hood look nice. Never seen it on car yet. You should try that but I guess you already got SD hood on other thread.

Look at ZZP's TTGT. It has that hood.

Kind of makes it look like a trans am with those huge nostrils, but destroys the curves of the hood.

Look not that bad but little different to see that.

I'm not a big fan of that hood :X
