AND henry you must be losing it because if you look closely he has a L-Sportline front and veilside side and rear
he already has aftermarket bumpers!

Dude...that happened to me about two years ago....
dont underestimate the cost of the damage...before i knew it...i was at about 4000!
Did you check the radiator cross support...that usually takes a beating too!
Let me see if i can dig up some picture for you to see the comparison..

This is the part i'm telling to check....
looks can be deceiving..you could imagine what i felt when i popped the hood and saw this...
Did you look? you may be surprised..this was where most of the cost was...radiator had to be replaced too.
BTW..i hit truck tire (no rim) just rubber as well.

rominl: I was thinking about going with a different bumper. However, damage isn't too bad, so repainting is my first option. But I did go to Carson site and looked at the assortment of kits. lol
GS4DOUGIE: Thanks for the PM. Replied.
GS4fun: Thanks for the pics. That's starting to get me worried. Hopefully, I don't have that much damage *knock on wood*
I will post an update once I stop by the body shop today and see what the real damage is.

LsportGS4: Yeah, I was going probably 65 and when I saw that the cones were actually merging into my lane I had to speed up in order to pass the big rig to the left of me. Not enough time for me to slow down..I would've probably been hit by the back half of the big rig if I did that.
KVA: I was on the 10 Eastbound. Peck Rd.
I agree with everyone...at least I'm okay. Now that I think back, it could've been a lot worse.

WHAT A BAD BREAK
My heart goes out to you as well. I know how much we put into our cars, and when something happens, it affects us deeply. It is more than money, because our cars are a big part of us.
I have a daughter that lives in that area, so I know where that is. Everybody moves pretty fast there, and it is easy to get into trouble.
I hope you will get this fixed soon, and get back to what we do best....enjoying our cars.

Cones were closing off a lane. It was closing sooner than I expected. It was either hit the cones on the right or a big rig on my left. I chose the cones. Also lost my foglight Anyone know a good body/paint shop in San Gabriel Valley?? Also looking for a yellow passenger side foglight.
