Thank for sharing my pain, guys.

I'll take it to the insurance's office for estimate next Friday 10/24. For now, the most damaged area should be the hood (anyone has any CF hood available for sell?

).
The windshield is ok, there are lots of cratches all over the front bumper, two side mirrors, on the top.

the good think is I only have to pay $100 deductible, and I might be able to talk to the bodyshop to paint & install the body kit for me as well.

For happy_aggies,
I'm about to drop it this weekend. I have the Votgland springs & Tokico Blue shockes waiting at home now.
Hopefully, within a month, I could have the rest ready.

To do list:
* take the car to the shop for this accident.
* put TRD bodykit & customized front bumper on
* install struts & springs.
* install TRD rear sway bar
* install Brembo drilled rotors
* install new Axxis rear pads.
* paint the brake calipers.
* install the ODB-II to my carputer project
* customize my trunk with 3 12" JL Audio instead of 1 15" MTX 8000 now.

I can't wait.

Great! Good news. I look forward to seeing your car in person since I live in your area.

Well It happend for a reason. This type of things just happen. Can't wait to see the finished look though. Be safe... :cry:

Guys,

It seems like the hood will need to be replaced. Several body shops that I took my car in for pre-estimated said the cost for the new hood & paint would be cheaper than fixing the damaged.
So I'm looking to buy a carbon fiber hood now.

I've found this VIS hood on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 2437476919
However, this guy is grand new @ ebay, does anyone know anything about him? Is he from VIS inc or something? I already emailed the guy but got no response yet.

or should I go with the CF hood from Adventon?
http://www.adventon.com/acb/showdetl.cf ... 8&CATID=65

I hate the look of the hood pins, is there another way to look the cf down as an oem one?

Thanks.

I would go with Adventon. I just purchased an Ingen Intake from them alot cheaper then any other place I have seen and its the same thing. Ingen is Ingen / Carbon Fiber is Carbon Fiber. My 2 cents. That would look sweet on your car by the way! :lol:
