#58054, "Crash Repairs" Sep-25-03 04:00 PM by docta doom
I got rear-ended by an expedition yesterday and the rear bumper of my car is totally FUBAR. The hatch is ok and the tail lights aren't broken but they may be crooked. There's a gash in my spoiler that needs to be fixed as well (just some fiberglass putty). I'm gonna get the 97-99 rear bumper to replace it. I like the reverse lights better. The expedition pushed me into an explorer and my front bumper wasn't too bad but the bottom lip cracked (the explorer was dropped a lot luckily, if not my hood would have been all up on my windshield) so i'm replacing that with the 97-99 bumper as well, if I can acquire the headlights economically; this may be my only reason not to get the new bumper. From what i've seen, the headlights go for ~$100 each My exhaust got bent in so I'm gonna need that replaced, I'd like to get a custom 3" w/ a resonator w/ an Apex`I N1 muffler, if not a complete Apex`I N1 exhaust system (i figure it's cheaper than stock, at least the custom method). While the car is in the shop I'm gonna get the rest of my car touched up (the scratches in the paint and stuff and repaint the plastic and the weather stripping, as well as replacing my doorhandle) on my own bill since it's gonna be in the shop anyway, if it isn't too expensive.
I would post some pics but I don't have a digital camera. I'm gonna pick up one of those disposable ones tommorrow before i take it in the shop so i can get some before pics and then some after pics.
