Unhappy The Damage!

This is the result of the crash that happened on New Years eve from ramming into the back of my cousins car who had no break lights.

It's not that bad. Just needs a wash and wax












and a front bumper, fenders, hood, radiator, lights, grill, hood struts, and a few fittings lol

Glad you weren't injured. Try and gather mix matched parts and put it back together if you have the time. Aliga is from NY and he probably has an entire front end for sale Or, get a Shine front bumper $450+-, Vertex replica fenders $450+-, carbon hood $350, lights $200, radiator $400+-, & various other stuff $100

I would cry if that happened to me D;, but yeah I agree, it doesn't seem like the car is considered totaled.

Why? While it sucks he had no brake lights, it's still the driver behind's fault since you should have the ability to see you're getting closer to the car prior to impact. He even admitted it's his fault. I hate driving behind cars with no lights, but you use caution and pay attention when driving and get away from them.

Glad you're okay, OP. And yeah, it will buff right out. You may need a more aggressive cutting pad, but that's workable for sure.
