So it finally happened. I got hit at a redlight. Basically I was first at the light to go through straight (W bound). Truck travelling S bound went to turn E bound onto my street (light had just turned yellow). Another truck travelling N bound hit the truck turning towards E bound. Spun them both, then the truck that had been travelling N bound hit me and the guy behind me.

anyways, all you pic whores will want pics, I'll take a couple more tomorrow but this is what I got while I was out there.











Police estimated dame at around $3000. BUT he didnt note the paint missing on both the front and rear bumpers. so, I dunno...My alignment is out too. Gonna get a hold of my examiner tomorrow to find out when I'll be talking to an adjuster...Any suggestions/ things to look out for would be appreciated. I have full coverage through Geico. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doin, my dad has worked at dealerships for most of his life and deals with insurance stuff on a daily basis and has filled me in so...

man im so sorry take it to the dialer if the insurance wanna pay is better.
good luck

Thanks man.

Forgot to mention that the rear wheel looks about the same as the front, same for the damage on the bumper cover...

damn i saw this on FB. suggestions....i dunno, dont really have any man. it doesnt look totalled though. to save money, skimp out on repairing the bumpers and just use touch up paint. itll look like **** for awhile, but itll save you a good chunk of change. also, if you can find a used fender and give it to a paint shop to spray and put on. you def need a new mirror, and a new door skin. when my door got hit it was around $1400

Everything will work out fine man. I know how stressful an accident can be, but yours isn't too bad. Just make sure you go by the book when dealing with the police and your insurance company so they can't screw you somehow.

well thankfully it isn't to bad. it could have been a lot worse. thats just really weird though how the guy traveling north hit the side of your car facing north.. unless i misread something... thats confusing.

Def inform and put a claim through GEICO about your damage since your under FULL. Trust me...I've been through 54742344131 damages and accidents with my car!!! Seriously all not my fault but that I got involved!!! It will est cost you about that much bc average to repaint each bumper is bout $300-$400. So repainting both will already be about $1G. To bond up the doors and repaint that as well as the rear panel is about another $1000. Labor will depend on your shop. So you'll prob run you about $2,500 jus opn the body alone. Any internals like alignments and etc by your wheel will prob be roughly $500.

Damn dude

You should be good.. The cop is pretty close on the est though..

Usually the insurance will just cut you a check and let u take it to ur shop.. If you get an estimate from them.. When u have full coverage

Good luck man..everything will work out for ya

your ludes beautiful too.

Damn man that sucks I have never been in a accident I dont know how people can hit others just pay attention to the road and stay in your lane thats it but it makes me sad to see that another lude gets damaged

That's ****. Doesn't look terribly serious though, on the bright side.

same thing happend to me dude. the whole front of my car got wrecked at a redlight and its never been the same.

hopefully they put yours back right, because mine is a mess

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can get her to the shop this week. Apparently figuring out whose fault the initial wreck was is complicated. Should be gettin to the shop tomorrow or the next day hopefully though. I'm going to try to use this as an opportunity to get some stuff done that I've wanted done for a while.

The only thing I'm unsure of what I'm gonna do is the wheels. Not sure if they're going to get me new ones or determine that it is just paint damage, and seeing as the paint isnt factory I'm not sure if they're going to cover em. Just gotta find out more when I get to the body shop...

yes, thats really true, if our kind doesn't end up under the hands of stupid people who treat it like another civic, its ends up in the junk yard or or damaged and never repairable.

but other then that it look like you'll be rolling like that for a while. just be thankful it was just one side and not the whole car. think of the positive not negative. Ur baby's okay shes fine and hell in no time at all shes be a lot better. whats a project car if u cant work on it, right?
