got in an accident
so i got in an accident with my new tube bumper on. it was in my college parking lot some kid was cuttin across the isles while i was going up one and right as a passed a huge parked excersion he came around and we hit. my only damage is my front fender turn signal head light and grille. and where my bumper was mounted broke off so instead of a bolt on bumper i thing i'm just gonna weld it on there. my bumper didn't dent bend or anything. lol i just gotta add a little more paint i think. haha but for his car.... its totaled haha his radiator broke engine got pushed back frame bent... haha it was a mess dibree was all over the cars around us lol it make for a rough clean up!!! well here are two cell phone pics.
So i got my own quote not throught the insurance company and i came out to be 4,199.33. lol and i'm gonna fix it myself and its gonna cost me under $1,000 dollars. haha and what to do with the rest... i donno we'll see!! lol i'm going to let the insurance adjuster look at it and they will give me some quote of like $2,000 and then i'm going to show them my own quote i got one at the dealership. lol haha
The new pictures
the headlight and grille just fell out. i just have to buy new clips and snap them back in. lol
yes that is radiator fluid in his head light and all over the ground. lol

Maybe you should ammend your tubes to come further up in front. Better protection from the next idiot that you run into. Personally, I want to build a tube front that can take a deer at 45mph! That's my goal anyway.
