Damn, sorry about that. Just glad you are ok though.
07-10-2008

i think im going to go back to stock with HIDs the projectors were nice but ay overpriced and really not that great of a product when it came down to it

Sorry to here about the GP. I have a front bumper for a 97. It should work. All that's wrong with it is the pass corner was pushed in a little. A lady backed into the corner. Don't have any pics of it. You can have it, just pay for shipping. If not, no worries. Maybe it'll help save a few dollars.

the body shop is taking care of everything $500 deductable FTW! im going to have them fix all the chips throughout the body. maybe pick up a GEN1 slp spoiler i dunno yet
07-10-2008
No problem. It's here if you need it.
07-11-2008
well look at it this way. all those little rock chips(if you had any) will be gone when the car comes out of the shop.
sucks about the headlights!!! did you keep the reciept?
07-11-2008
i dont think im going back to the projectors. yeah, they looked good but i was never satisfied with paying 350$ and they shook like a girl with big cans running.for 350$ they shoulda been manufactured better. im probably going to buy the all black stock lights on ebay and put my old HIDs in them. i want to get a new hood, how do i make geico pay for that rather than a GM one? im thinking the SD hood with the dual scoops

He simply said as long as you have recepits to show the actual dollar value you paid for the parts in question, it would be covered.
Now for switching out the hood? This is where you and your body shop guy come into play. Most times you can have your body shop substitute parts for other ones. Some body shops will tell you they can only put on what the insurance company tells them to put, while this is true in most cases, there ways around it. Cause they are going to give you a check for the full amount to repair the vehicle and replace the broken parts, minus your $500 deductable.
From there with the leftover money, you and your body shop guy can figure out if there is a way to do other things with the car, ie the SLP hood or spoiler. But as I said earlier some places wont mess with that cause they have already been burned by Brand X Insurance company. You just have to shop it around and found the right shop to work with you. That's the hardest part of it all. Insurance companies make auto body repair shops life a ***** sometimes
Opps almost forgot!!
I am glad too you are ok!! I hope they got the car that started this whole mess

07-12-2008
I know you miss her man, im very sorry this happened to you. But, it will all be worth the wait when they get done. i know how it feels though, its like being a kid waiting on christmas again. Hope everything works out for you!!

i bought the SLP Gen 1 spoiler yesterday as well as a new set of HID's for my new headlights, now lets play the waiting game for shipping!

I hit a deer with my car and knew the insurance guy pretty well (state farm). I took it to a bodyshop where my dad knew the owner and my cousin worked there so I told them what parts were aftermarket. I found a F1 hood for $300 locally and told them to throw that on there. I paid the $500 deductable and later got a check from insurance for $470 for I think clear corners and the cost of a stock hood? I never showed any receipts and never asked any questions about the check.. lol
Best thing is as long as it was a body part involved in the accident it got replaced, so I got the paintjob on the new hood for free.

Just put mine on. Teaser pics to make you feel better?

nice, my engine bay used to look like that, now it looks like this

No more top swap plans for me. Turbo eventually.
The only thing I don't like about the PRJs is how one of the front wires (#5 I think) is just barely long enough for the L36. The coils sit lower on the L36 than on the L67 so it's not as easy to make it clean. I'm installed a Plog and new x-over this weekend and I will work on it some more. Didn't feel like putting much effort into it when I'd be back in a week.
