Since we both have the same insurance it doesn't really matter, either way the same company will be paying for the damages. I still have to go to court to determine who is at fault, OH JOY!!

The reason the damage is to the passenger front is because I tried to swerve at the last second, but since my brakes locked up (stupid RS with no ABS lol) I was unable to completely avoid the car in the middle of the road. It's a good thing though, because there was a bus coming the other way when it happened...car would have definitely been totaled then lol.

 

Parts are cheaper than I thought, so if my insurance company ever sends me a check I might start putting it back together..

Insurance is just cutting me a check, not a shop. So I would have the ability to buy any parts that I want for the car with the $ if I fix it myself.

No, not crumpled. There was no frame damage at all. The upper radiator support was barely even touched.

Damn, sorry to see that..35k miles on an 04 is extremely hard to come by.. The RS keeps getting more and more rare, good for some people I guess but sucks for us.

Debating between evo 8 nose chop with a nice front lip or evo 9 front bumper...hmm

 

IX bumper, remove the stock Mitsu badge and throw a dope lip on it

 

They probably quoted you on replacement parts and not OEM parts. I'd make sure it was for an aluminum hood and fender and OEM control arm and oil cooler.

 

am i the only one who likes the 8 bumper way more than the 9? lol i say an 8 bumper with a nice lip or splitter.

 

Funny I thought the same. The two holes in front the IX makes me think of **** on wildhogs.

 

No way that cars totaled.

And in the remote chance it is, let me know where the insurance auction is going to be..

 

lmfao! same here! and i like on the 8 how it shows the intercooler piping out the sides it looks badass , the 9 bumper covers them up.

 

Only part that wasn't OEM was a "reconditioned front bumper" which was only $40 less than a new one lol. New hood was quoted at over $1200 for just the part.

 

if they total it out you can always buy it back for half the price

 

Car was not totaled..

 

Ur so indecisive about selling this car lol smh..was looking forward to coming to a deal but I guess I already know what you decided to do

 

Lol I haven't made up my mind.. I'm trying to work with my insurance company, it's just taking incredibly long. I have been working out a payment with them, but they keep trying to lower the amount they will be giving me..annoying

 

Is it a huge difference? Thousands or few hundred? If its few hundred then maybe it's not worth the argument. Think bout it..ur getting cash from them and cash for car..practically kind of like just flat out selling it lol

I got a nice empty space in my garage that needs a new car in it..lets get it done! Tell them to hurry the F up

 

Sorry to hear man..Hope all works out for ya!!
