I was leaving work last night and some damn drunk ran into the passenger side fron of my car. Messed up the fender bad, the bumper and turn signal. And now my steering is all jacked up. Anyone know where I can get a fender and a bumper? 99 ls400. Junk yards are slim here in corpus.

dang man that sucks.
hopefully your insurance will cover it.

Glad there were no injuries..

This is exactly the type of thing insurance is for! Let them deal with it. It's their headache not yours.

insurance should be used here.
you'll need a bumper, fender, fender trim, bumper trim (dealer only item, long metallic strip), ,as well as most likely new LBJ/Tie rod ends since something got bent/shifted.

Ive decided not to use my insurance. The deductible and my rates going up are ridiculous. The guy took off and cant be found, so I am just going to do it myself. What years are interchangeable for that fender?

As PD suggested, I would at least get a mechanic to check the suspension and steering in your car since you state that it is all jacked up now. Sounds like thee may be more damage, unseen, that you are not aware of. In that case, you may have to bite the bullet and use the insurance. I know rate increases suck however, the immediate lightening of your pockets may hurt even more. As least make sure that the car is still safe to drive if you decide to do it on your own.

Wowzers! Sorry to hear!
Anyway, try searching on these familiar websites;

www.car-part.com (online junkyard listings for parts)

www.ebay.com

www.t/o/y/o/d/i/y/.com (for part numbers) - [Remove the /]

If you want basically new parts...

Goodluck!
Take a before and after picture!

Sorry to hear about your car. I was recently hit and had to fight the other guy's insurance company. If you do it yourself check online for salvage locating services (fender, bumper, etc.) and even Ebay would be a good source. Hopefully there is no major damage underneath.

Thanks for the help. I drove the car to work today and ran at around 60 - 80 mph. No vibration or anything. The only difference is the steering is off. Almost like to low of tire pressure. I had the 2 mechanics at work check out the suspension and they said it looked ok. Nothing bent or out of whack. They suggested just getting it realigned. I will get off at a decent time tomorrow and post up a couple of pics.
