so i put on my new brake rotors today and i was out breakin them in. i took a left turn and something (i think a dog) ran out in front of the car. my tires are pretty much gone and i underestimated my new brakes stopping power and my car slid into a curb and down a ditch running over about 3 hedge bushes. i'm okay, i think i broke a toe, but the speed needs a foglight, front bumper, and the drivers side fender shroud. guess i should start looking, who wants to help me out?

So I'm on the lookout for a front bumper, doesn't have to be stock, could have a lip or something, a foglight or a set whatever is cheaper, and the drivers side fender shroud thing. anyone who can help me aquire these is a god and i will love them forever!
 
hmmm, that doesn't sound to bad at all. i know a guy that can paint it cheap. i may just swing by there and pick up a brand new one rather than trying to find one used. thanks man!
 
so i called my dealer...they want $242.55 for it. I'll try to look elsewhere first
 
here are some pics for you. first 3 are the car. the forth looking right at where i went in. the fifth is at the angle i went down and a shot of the left side of "the crime scene" that right most tree is the one i almost hit

so only the bumper is messed up? frame isn't bent, or any of the wheels bent, or suspension isn't messed up? could have been worse
 
pretty much just the bumper and that foglight. there are some cracked plastics underneith but nothing a little duct tape can't fix
 
Hey pdhaudio83.....isn't Sandusky Ohio where Tommy Boy was supposed to take place?
I love that movie. Chris Farley was the man.

jesus how fast were u taking that turn to jump the curb and roll down 3 bushes.

i'm not sure of my speed but i didn't feel unsafe when i was turning. just turned like normal around that turn. as soon as i started turning the dog came out. my car wasn't even pointed straight out of the turn yet. i was still headed into the turn.
 
yea after the car stopped, still running, i was saying i should have hit the ****** dog, over and over and over again
 
Hope those arent neighbors of yours. But those bushes had it coming. I saw them sneering at you.
 
^^haha, they live down the street from our apartment complex. that road goes down about 3 tenths of a mile and then you turn left into the complex. and yea they just cut them down and they have been laughing at me for weeks. but luckily for me no one was home. just a barking dog. surprisingly about 10 ppl drove by while my car was stickin about 3 feet in the air and NO ONE, not a single person stopped or even slowed down to ask if i needed help. i was sittin on the curb the for about 10 minutes waiting for my friend to run to the apartment and get his rover
