in the front - he said it's minor and they can pull it straight.

My dad was like if there's sever frame damage then he'll just buy a new car and part out but the guy said the frame damage aint that bad b/c it was just tapped from the side (the front part became slightly crooked like 5 degrees to the right)

anyway, They're installing my oettinger kit for me and popping dents and detailing for free and paitning at 50% off

they're also letting me get whatever parts i can find and installing my ecodes for me

so this aint THAT bad

considering i got this car for only 17k ($16,750) - i aint exactly too pissed.

im giving this car to my mom in 2 years to buy a bmw 335i if i ever make the money back lol

but for now, the original estimate of 11,900 is down to approx 9k.

o yeah, they're painting my lowers too for $150-200 hahah - pretty f*cking good

and getting a new car aint exactly an option cuz insurance aint covering it. I'm suing the bitch for $15k + money for my troubles

however, they're making me replace like the energy absorbers and **** but it doesn't loook like i need to *shrug*

anyway, help me with parts and i save some money

Also if you guys can go down this list with me to see what i don't need then it'll be hawt like i told them they dun need to repaint my fuel door for $50 lol

Good luck finding all/most of those parts on your own... If it were me, Id just let the shop take care of finding all the parts even if it means them getting them from the dealer and having to pay a little extra.. Sounds like a big PITA to track down most of those parts from any place other than the dealer. Id go junk yard shopping i guess if i had to.

I'm letting them buy any part less than $100 basically

i already have the hood, fenders, headlight, front bumper, radiator, fan shroud, condenser - they're ALL coming from partstrain.com *shrug*

so it's not that big of a PITA

i just need these few parts for now

front left and right energy absorbers
radiator support
cross tube
intercooler

Dude, what state are you in? If it's a Tort state, then the other carrier should be covering you collision.

Check out www.car-parts.com just in case.

Check out this place dude, could be just what you need....although it'll probably suck to get everything shipped from Cali to the East Coast.

Good luck.
