    ACS Front End....Here I Come???

    Well, I got in a car accident today on the way to class. The cops didn't write up a report, so I am not 100% sure it will be her fault. After talking with them and my adjuster I am pretty sure she will be paying for it. I have full coverage in case it some how turns out to be my fault though.

    Here is the story. Pics to follow.


    I was coming down the hill and approaching an intersection with a stop light. There were about 4 cars lined up all the way to the left of the lane becasue they were all going straight. With tons of room on the right hand side I came up to the front of the line on the right to make a right hand turn. I came to a complete stop and looked left (so I could take my free right). As soon as I looked left the 07 Tahoe next to me turns right and clips the front corner of my car and drags it down the side of her car. As soon as I saw her move it layed on the horn, but she continued to go until she had damaged the entire side of her car. This pulled the front bumper off my car and did some more damage as you can see below. I know there is a local guy that has an ACS front lip he may be willing to sell. I might see if I can track that down and get that put on instead. Anyone with experiance of accidents and insurance know if this is a possibility?



    Anyways....ON TO THE PICS!!!

    Damn man, that sucks, but it doesn't look bad at all. Just a driver's side fender, and some other stuff and you should be good. Good luck getting everything sorted out.

      Fuck Derek, that sucks! Luckily that can be easily fixed, no real harm done.

      What does the ACS front end look like? I can't picture it right now.

                  I'd love to see better pics of the acs kit. That pic is the only one that ever gets posted and its pretty hard to see the details of it :(


                  and sorry to see that your car got hit. Like everyone has said though at least it doesn't look too bad.

                          First Frank, now Derek? That's it, I'm keeping my fucking car in the garage.

                          I think it's that season once again...

                            You gotta give them time to shrink before you cut. They have shrunk about 1/2-3/4" since I put them on. ;)
