Mknabb335 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Ok well the inevitable has happened. I wrecked my 97 se. Stopping by to see some friends after work I was leaving the bowling alley talking to my girl friend and looked down for a sec. I look up and the front end of my patthy kissed a chevy maibu in the doors right when I hit the breaks. Thank God it was a low speed impact and no one was hurt. But enough to rearange my front end some what and sent glass and the passenger window of the chevy into the air. My brush guard took the worst, worping it into twisted metal and is dead, smashed into the front end. I need a front bumper, passenger light assembly( I have the black grille), for sure. Other things are my passenger fender is dented a little and my hood has a few dents, that im going to leave it for now.... All in all it was not too bad but the malibu had to have the passenger door pryed open by the local fire department. I drove my baby to a friends house and it will sit untill I get to look at it Thursday in the day light. If any one can please help me with a bumper and head light it would be greatly appreciated... Right now I am just tring to get over the shock of it all.... Im just glad I did not dammage more than I did and no one was hurt. But the worst of all is I started back school today, I have a restricted license and was not supposed to be visiting friends but going straight home... The police officer was very kind and realised that I will endure enough suffing from this accident( car repair, insurance) and decided not to take me to jail, nice man but now I cannot drive any where. Anyway what im tring to say guys is HELP ME!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 glad to hear youre ok.... I decided to launch myself into traffic a few months ago and had the front bumper & other pieces removed from my pathy... I had to get insurance to cover it... the damage I did to the Honda I hit was waaaaaaaaayyyy too much $$$. there is a site online - I forget what it's called where you can look up parts on a directory of wreckers...

Mknabb335 Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Ok I had an idea.... Will the 00-02 grill and corner lights swap on to my 97... Will I have to change fenders? If swappable I think a face lift is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardwaretoad Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 (edited) I had to get insurance to cover it... the damage I did to the Honda I hit was waaaaaaaaayyyy too much $$$. And all this time I've been carrying insurance in case I do get in an accident... never knew you could put it on after an accident. Or are you meaning that you usually just pay out of pocket when you hit someone ? :confused: Might try these guys for parts...

RowOSU Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 About the face lift -- I have looked into it, the fenders are cut the same, the issue comes in with the hood. All you need to do it are sidemarkers, headlights, grill, and hood. It is a feasable upgrade, and I do at some point plan to do it as I love that front end (I think it looks more aggressive).. just my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
