Default RE: Wrecked! Question

I can totally understand how you feel man. Yesterday I was taking a easy Sunday drive listening to radio then all of a sudden the car in front of me stopped so I stopped. But the van behind me didn't stop until he hit me[:@] then it caused me to hit the car in front of me. The damage though was not too bad, my front bumper was slightly disalligned, my rear bumped is dented and will probably replaced and the trunk needs dent repair. [:@] I just got the car 5 months ago. UNBELIEVABLE

This all could have been prevented if the dork van driver paid attention to the road!!!



ORIGINAL: A4speed

Ok, so first I have to tell the story. I was driving home and I was only about a mile from home. It is a 5 lane road with a turning(suicide) lane in the middle. I was in the right lane and there was a car in front of me, and in the left lane. The car in the left lane went into the turning lane, so I got over into the left lane so I could pass the car in front of me. The girl in the turning lane slowed down and I sped up to pass the car in front of me. And right when I get close to where she was in the turning lane, she decided not to turn anymore and swerved right infront of me. Since I sped up and she had slowed down, there was nothing I could do but to hit her A**. She got a citation for unsafe lane change and I lost pretty much all my fluids, raidiator and my power steThe damaering was shot. I am so freaking pissed! 18 year old female. The good news is she has insurance, and we've both turned in our reports to insurance already. So I just have to wait until monday to get a rental and for them to tow my car to a body shop to get it all fixed up.

Now my question is, since the body shop probably has to get the parts from the dealership, can you work with the body shop to get cheaper aftermarket body kits and stuff instead of getting everything stock again? Also, I had Halo headlights but the one was pretty much done, would I be able to get a new set? If someone has experience please let me know. Otherwise sympathy comments are ok too...

Getting aftermarket parts for your car all depends on the shop and your insurance company. Some shops will only put on OEM parts. Some Insurance companies will only pay for OEM parts (they do check the invoices that body shop sends in). Most insurance company's will not pay to replace upgraded parets unless you have a copy of the receipt

You have nothing to lose by trying so I say go for it.
