Hurts just to see a GS like that, luckily it doesn't look terrible, you could find a hood on eBay or a junkyard, I know ou can get new bumpers painted from sewell for like 500 or something

So everyone I went to go see her today, the adjuster is supposed to come look at her tomorrow. I took some pics, from the pictures I think I'm fine, two headlights, hood, bumper, radiator and radiator support. It was a few inches from the timing belt and I'm so happy it didn't touch it. The car started fine, it's still in driving condition aside from the damage to the radiator. Here are some pics though.
I even put the visor up because I didn't want the sun touching the seats.

Hey if they replace your headlights with new ones tell them you want the old headlights back, that you want to keep them. They will give them to you for free (you own the car they are your parts)
I know they are damaged, but i'll buy them from you. Want to practice for a retro fit.

and thats when you can find them. another sucky thing is that buying just the one you need won't match the other one. you'll want to get a complete set and replace them both while the bumper is off.

Hey everyone,
Today I was involved in my first accident. While driving to the gym I was in the right lane of a three lane road and a guy from the far left lane jumped in front of me and slammed on brakes in order to make the right turn and I slammed on my brakes as well but unfortunately I hit him. He kept going up far enough so I couldn't read his tags then he got out, looked at his bumper, and drove away. Some say I should have chased him but it's already done now. The car is currently at a collision center and I have a rental car. There was a witness who saw the event who I gave her information to Geico, I have no accidents on my record, I'm 20, first car, first accident.
Do you guys think they'll total her or say it was my fault?

She will be parted out.. In one piece.. Back to Victor's care!
So you saw him do all of that, but you were not able to get close enough to get his tag info? He had to be the Flash for him to get out of his car and look at his bumper, THEN get back in his car and you still were not able to get any info? Hope things work out for you and they don't total. That interior is looking sexy
She's not totaled though! So new hood, bumper, and fresh SD headlights are coming this way!
