If that is true....time to seek out an unemployment insurance claim. I make sure all my vehicles have that coverage.

Stupid *** dumpster Was she hot at least? Good news is a new oem fender isn't that expensive. Do you have an uninsured motorist clause?

Your attempt to be funny falls on deaf ears. We put a lot of love, sweat, and money into our rides and we certainly sympathize in cases like this.


VW summed it up pretty well:



O.P that ******* sucks I can certainly relate as my car has been hit 4 different times by stupid people.

ANY 20 year old color is hard to match. I mean if that was original paint.

I had some Mexican lady on a cell phone rip the door off of my FD in front of my daughter's school. Then she found a friend to tell the cops that it was somehow MY fault, then she had shady Tijuana insurance, THEN she disappeared back to Mexico and left me with the bill.

Count your blessings, and get 'er fixed. It doesn't look bad.

That's no fun but at least the damage is relatively minor. Good luck

I hope YOU had full coverage insurance to cover the bill if her cheap *** doesnt. Then at least you are only on the hook for your deductible that your insurance will get back for you (Could take months).

And CYM is not that hard to match, you will just have to blend into the door and hood which any reputable body shop will do anyway.

I never blend. Paint to the panel. Any reputable shop can match perfectly without blending.

Win...what, exactly?


If the chick is uninsured and doesn't have a pot to **** in or a window to throw it out of, you ain't getting ****...lol!


Believe me, I've been there, done that and was left with nothing but rage, when dealing with an uninsured motorist.

Car is ruined, my offer is $5k.

In all seriousness it sucks but its not bad at all. If you drive it in the rain I don't assume it is a pristine garage queen that has irreplaceable value.

Can you post the name of your shop so we know to never go there?

thanks for the input guys sorry just havent been able to get on here (forgot really), body shop says its going to cost around 700 to fix, and i have a $500 deductible and they dont want to repaint a new fender, they want to fix this one and paint it... btw a new fender from mazda at ray would cost $205 just in case some ppl wanted to know

reason being , this isnt a realy CYM and it is a custom cym that was done before i bought the car, they matched the wing long ago but the guy says it will never match the same if painting from scratch that he would want to blend it in (its also 3 stage paint)....

debating on just repainting the whole car, i have many chips/dings and scratchs around the car i would like fixed.. i already have a new 99 spec front end waiting to go on along with 2 new head light covers?

the guy said it would prob be around 6k to strip the car and paint.. around 5k not stripped sound about right?

That sounds about right for a quality paint job including jambs and removal of all the trim and bolt on sheet metal. Don't cut corners when it comes to paint, if all the bolt on sheet metal is still on the car when its painted, it will turn out like crap and everyone will be able to tell its been painted.
