Default First Wreck!

I've had my IsF for a few years and a few weeks ago on my way to see the firework display I rear ended a truck and hit his hitch. No damage to his truck at all but for me thats another story. About 7k in damage to my car. New hood, front bumper, radiator, and grill. oh yea did I forget the 2k headlights? At least now I have a reason to upgrade to the newer style LED ones and I ordered the chrome grill surround in black chrome, so I'm not entirely bummed out.First Wreck!-lexus-dents.jpg

Wow, that's some pretty good damage considering none to the truck. I don't know whether to feel bad because it's so hurt or good so you can do your upgrades!

never mind the hit...all metal can be replaced or repaired...the key is the painter at the body shop..
If he is ok your paint is ok...if he/she is great your paint is great...

I pray your body shop is really good...cause that is the biggest PITA!!

^^ the bumper comes painted, but the hood doesn't. I've had a few things painted there before so hopefully it turns out well. Other than that not too much to be aligned, I'll keep you updated. Should be done next week sometime.

gl with repairs find a good body shop and order the bumper from sewell along with headlights and possibly hood. Get everything painted and you should have a couple k in your pocket.
