A sad day... my friends Aunty reversed into my FD so so sad!!! Insurance is covering it all, but won't be able to get fixed until another 5 weeks poor baby!

Sorry... took longer to upload than I though.

 

That sucks. At least it's just the door and not part of the unibody.

Make sure you're happy with the paint and the color match before you accept the car from the body shop. Look at it in the sunlight. Vintage Red is a hard color to match. Some old guy backed into my fender a few years ago and the front half of the car doesn't match quite right. I still wish I had made them paint it one more time.

 

Thanks for the tip!! Don't worry, i'll make sure of it.

 

Friggin SUX man!

 

Did you cry?

Dom not everyone likes those girly movies like you do

Why would you park you FD in the streets? She was driving an SUV wasn't she?

 

I reversed my RX-7 into another one of my car's once. Now, that SUCKED! Needless to say, it made a bad day much worse.

Goodluck fixing it. Good thing you have full coverage. Definitely a necessity with these cars.

 

That's actually a lucky hit. Simply replace the door - no body work required.
As mentioned though the hard part will be getting a good paint match.
Good luck

I park my fd on the street, what happends when you dont have a choice sir?

 

Get the car inspected. It looks like it is just the door that suffered damage, but you never know.

If it is only the door...as mentioned previously...just swap in another door.
Much easier to do that, than to possibly repair and paint.

 

holy shi* i would have gone postal even if it is only the door! i agree with domfd3s much easier to just replaceing the door after a good inspection good luck !!!!

 

Wow. While that's a shitty thing to have happen to your car, it appears you have been remarkably lucky that the damage didn't extend off of the door. It looks like the impact only missed the unibody by just a few centimeters.

As far as insurance goes, have them buy you a new door (inner and outer) and you should be good to go.

I would make sure they take off the door panel and inspect the harness. It may have gotten pinched. Check the door plastics too, you know how easily they break.

 

that really stinks, good luck, dude.

 

Same thing happened to me except it was my drunk buddy. Its not that bad. Get a new door and fender from someone and replace it yourself. Save some insurance money for a new exhaust or what have you.

 

holy **** dude the same thing happened to me! i was in my friends driveway and his mom reverses right in to my door. driver side though. whats crazy is that my dent lokks almost identical to yours, like the way it crushed in. so i feel your pain! never parking near her again.

 

A couple years ago I had a garbage truck back up into my carport. The carport then collapsed on top of my FD.

 

Mine is the driver side lol... my FD is RHD... its hurts doesn't it!!! Stupid drivers!!

 

I would cry if that happened to me.

 

I did when I got home :P
