Got Rear-ended

[JayT]

I was very unfortunate last night, I was stopped at a red and some girl rear ended me. I'd say she was going around 10 mph, it sounded loud when she hit me. The rear diffuser is loose on the right side and also on the other side of the exhaust. The bumper has small dents and is scratched up. I'm thinking possible exhaust damage, since both sides of the exhaust are damaged. I'm still a little upset about this situation. Where do you San Diego guys get bodywork done? should I go to the dealer and check it up for possible frame damage? Thanks ahead guys.

That really sucks. hopefully you will get it all figured out and taken care of. In the mean time, you go find her and do something like this in her rear....

Sorry to hear that man!!! I'm in the same boat. I just got rear ended last Friday. Messed up my bumper, part of my body under the trunk, and my exhaust.

I'm gonna have the body and the bumper fixed through a shop and for the exhaust, AA sent me a new tip which i'm going to have welded on.

I'm thinking of painting the moldings while I'm at it.

eww... what happened? Looks like the whole side of your car got banged up too? You know what despite that damage, I can't believe how shiney your car looks!

the day before this happened I washed it BUT, in the evening of that same day, it rained and as I was going to my friends during rush hour doing about 25 in rush hour traffic, some 19year old jerk(no pun intended to 19 year olds ) decided to change lanes doing close to 40 I would guess hitting me in the right rear and then blowing by me taking out my right side in the process, wasn't fun. 12K worth of damage, his insurance paid. no damage to my neck and spine, thank you vader seats !!! All in all you wouldn't know the difference right now, except for the dreaded DOT-R sticker under the hood.

here you go.

What kind of rims are those? I LIKE!!! Are they lightweight, say, under 20 lbs?

BBS RKII(2 piece), they are 22lbs I think, regular RK's are under 20lbs. But I do like how these look And since I am not going to go to the track in the next few months and become picky and self-conscious about a few extra lbs, I am satisfied with RKII's

thanks man.

The RK's are only 17lbs. I like the way they look better then the way the RKII's look.
