Well I got bad News........

You don't have GAP insurance? That sucks.

I serisouly doubt that that much damage could be caused by hitting something at 15 mph, even if they were at a dead stop and you were going 15, much less if both of you had your brakes locked up.

Sorry about the car man. I like the look.
 
I had 3k damage including hood, bumper, headlight, and radiator core support from a bump-'n-run while parked. our cars are REALLY fragile! :(
 
not the frame of the car.......just the frame around the engine.....i dont know how to explain it.....like i said ill have pics tomorrow......ill post em up.....

you mean the radiator core support probably. it's the painted part that goes in front of the radiator and the headlights mount to

gap insurance is so that if your car is totalled you don't have to pay to get out of it if you have negative equity
 
i slid going like 15 on ice into another car the other had $500 in damages my car only took some paint off the bumper so i consider myself luckey i guess, damn that was scary i thought i was done i think i hit it on the support though so i dunno. that sucks bout your car though
 
yep thats what im talking about...i guess......the radiator core support......so that means my car is not totaled...>>YES!!!!!!!!


any idea where i can get the canadian headlights that are black????

In other words, if you total your car and insurance gives you say $5k, but you still owed $8k, then GAP insurance would take care of the $3K diff. This shouldn't be an issue for you - your car isn't totaled.
 
I had an accident a few months ago...some idiot slammed on his brakes in front of me, and I hit mine and slammed into him pretty hard....everything in the car flew into the front, and I thought for sure it there would be some major damage...turns out there was none at all, license plate got a bit bent but thats it...I was actually extremely impressed with how well the car did in the accident...Ive seen bumpers get broken off from similar accidents...p5 gets another thumbs up....by the way I was doing about 45-50 when I hit the brakes.....still cant believe there was no damage...at least to my car(nuts)

P.S. sorry you didnt have similar luck...hopefully you can replace that stuff at a good price....
 
i think mine got messed up so bad because im lowered.....and i got the bottom of his bumper.....so i got the s*** end of the stick......


pics are coming....being developed right now
 
tough luck. its always painful to hear when a p5 gets damaged. but like they say gotta give yourself more room...specially in the wet.
 
well here are the pics of the damage.....

went to get an estimate from a local auto-body shop for the damage.....and unfotunately....they are a "service 1st" company with my insurance company.....meaning they dont do estimates.....they repair it automaticlly and send the bill to my insurance company.....and all im responsible for is deductible.....

so that means if they repair it....i get no check from insurance company....and i get all OEM parts again..... :'(
 
Now that is f'in gay. Sorry to hear that man. Is there anyway you could try to talk the body shop into purchasing those parts and putting it on the insurance company's tab?
 
I thought it was going to be much worse. I don't think that's totalled. Slight bendage, and cosmetic. Good luck with the insurance.
 
i'm confused on if they are going to replace my CF parts or not.....i hope they do.....or am i stuck going back to OEM....
