the interior today, i went with my parents to see the damage, my mom is all going psycho saying the car took its life for me!



door pushed in against the seat, and shifted my whole dash to one side. the center console is completely screwed as well, but because its a side impact, icbc will be able to salvage the airbags.

the adjuster that was there pretty much said its a write off =~(

i put back my stock deck and a few other stock items for now.

were you able to salvage most of your aftermarket parts to hopefully put onto another GS.

everything looks to be ok except your grille, headlights, wheels, maybe your brembos, camber kit

Dude, that's nuts.

I almost got T-boned today too. Stupid woman in a mitsu SUV blatently ran the red in front of Brian Jessel, I was very unimpressed. I honked and she looked at me like I was the one who was doing something wrong. Aiya.

I think maybe I'll stop by BJ parts tomorrow to see you.

wow...glad to hear you are alive.

did any of the side airbags go off? didn't see that in your pics.

from the looks of it...its more than likely salvaged.

see if you can pull off parts asap before your insurance claim is completed....once completed...and you accept the check...the car is property of the insurance company.

I'd pull off any stock pieces as well...LOL...esp for the vultures here...LOL!!

I'm not sure if you remember a thread I created back in '07 but I got into an accident with my previous 2gen GS. The damages were more severe than yours and I felt very thankful to come out with just a few small abrasions on my hand. This was another reason why I wanted and got another GS.


Quick Reply: I got T boned.... i dont think the GS is recoverable.
