See if you can con them into an SAP front!

 

Hahaha, I would, but that bumper alone would cost more than the suspension repairs:lol: I kinda prefer the stock bumper anyway, especially with my upcoming plans for it:evilgrin:

I would just get a check and then order everything from Steve @ tousley...

And pay $800 in shipping?:screwy:

Thanks for the idea though!

That SUCKS!

You got THAT right!

Sucks dude, but could have been a lot worse it seems and glad you're alright!

 

Thanks, Joe Hopefully I won't miss Ray's shindig

 

Glad you're ok, scary stuff. Get some pics up when you get her fixed!

 

Will do. Thanks

You don't know much about shipping costs do you? :what:

I can ship an entire GT500 conversion including both bumpers, lighting and hood almost anywhere in the country for less than $150.00 as long as it goes to a commercial address. :thumbup:

No worries though, do whatever makes the most sense for you.

Please do feel free to check with me if you like though

I was going to call the shop today and give him your name/info, actually.:thumbup:

You always hit the animal. Never swerve to avoid.

Ummmm, I was NOT willing to have a deer land on my head. I know that rule, but when I have the choice of hitting a fence or having a dead deer crush in the top of my car, I will ALWAYS choose the fence.

If you dont get a SAP front I personally will slap you up side your head. :thumbup:

Hahahaha, to be honest, I sort of prefer the standard bumper over just an SAP front.

 

Wow. At least you're ok, your car isn't messed up too bad, and (im assuming) the deer lived. He better be counting his blessings come hunting season again. I don't hunt myself, but when stuff like this happens, it kinda makes me wanna give it a shot (pun intended).

Hopefully you get everything taken care of, and the body shop doesn't screw you around or anything. :thumbup:

 

what do u have for a stock zx3 focus any cool set ups for looks

 

Just SVT or SAP conversions.

^at least you could have stocked the freezer.

I've seen first hand what a deer can do to a car, I'd have taken the fence as well. :thumbup:

BTW- Honestly, if the insurance company is paying the body shop directly you may as well let them order the parts wherever they usually get them because you'll only be saving the body shop money as they'll still bill the insurance company at list price.

If you're getting a check and would be paying for the parts yourself then it would probably make sense to get them here, do be sure to check with the shop though as not all of them will let you provide your own parts.

 

Yeah, I think the shop will be getting the parts, but I really don't trust the local dealers to get the corrects struts and other ST parts. Most of them have to be told that the car has a 2.3; as most tell me the 05-07 never had it....

 

Yeah that can be tough, let me know if you need any help with any of it. Parts or just info.

 

Got the quote yesterday... EVERYTHING in the front right suspension needs replacing, including the knuckle! The car is getting all OEM suspension parts and other things, the only aftermarket parts it will be getting are cosmetic. I'll post up the list later on. Pretty much the entire right side of the front end of the car will be getting replaced, including the right front door. The car is pretty badly damaged.

 

Um,

just sayin :thumbup:

 

Are you fixing it yourself?

When my brother wrecked his car, the adjuster came out and listed a **** ton of parts that she says was broken but actually were not.

Have a check cut to yourself, assess whats really broken, get the parts cheap from Steve, throw it together, and pocket extra $ (over half of the money from the check will probably be to labor costs)

This...

 

Sry to see your car damaged ... that sucks.

Time to upgrade to a nasty whine eminating from under the hood ... that will chase all the animals off the road in front of you. lol

But seriously, ever since I installed the supercharger, animals seem to run away from the car. Which is great - I don't want to hit them ...

Good luck with the repairs.

 

Buddy of mine put in deer whistles and had an accident less than a week later, deer walked out right infront of him at night.

 

If your dealer is at all helpful get on the horn to Steve and check prices with him then go in and check what they are going to charge.

I had to have the front bumper replaced on my car a few years ago, I checked with Steve and it ended up that an SVT bumper was cheaper(even with shipping) from him than the stock ZX3 bumper was going to be from the dealer. So I ordered the parts from Steve took them to the dealer and they wrote me a check for what the stock stuff was going to cost.
Ended up in the positive a little.

If you have the ability to do some of the stuff yourself do it, you might as well get some cash out of it if you can.

 

Car's all fixed up and sittign in the driveway. Pics soon for anyone who cares once I tint the nes side marker and get the car detailed. The shop did a BEAUTIFUL job fixing the car, I just wish they had cleaned it a bit better. Then again, they finished it and pulled it out into the lot as we pulled up.

 

Glad it's fixed!

 

Thanks, Joe! The car runs and drives significantly better than it did before the accident. I also re-tinted the taillights and tried a new buffing method I have been meaning to try. Suffice it to say, it works!

 

niiiice!

 

Where joo been???

Pics!

In due time. I really don't bother with pics much anymore. Nobody seems to give a **** about my car:lol: After all, it is pretty much stock...
