I was in an accident...NOW WITH PICS.
 

so on my way home from school today coming off of rt1 at neshaminy, the cr-v in front of me hits the gas to merge but then stops as i look to my left to see if it's good for me to go, sure enough, i hit her. not too much damage luckily, she was stopped and i was crawling, but i need to replace my front right turn signal and fender. lucky for me, i'm a minor on a jr. license so my insurance is going to kill me........btw i turn 18 tomorrow

the damage to mine..

Man, you are not having good luck with this car!! Sorry to hear.

that sucks man, atleast you're ok and your car isnt badly damaged

anyone able to recommend a cheap place to buy a fender / turn signal housing? i found a fender for $78 (unpainted) and signal for $20 on www.partstrain.com but they wanted an additional $60 for shipping...i'm trying to get this fixed asap so i can just forget about it

That really sucks, at least its nothing really bad


Did you try any junkyards or ebay?

did you get a ticket for rear ending her?

the cop (state trooper btw) didn't give me any tickets, he said it was bad enough i hit her on a jr. license the day before my 18th birthday.....only junkyard i've spoken to so far, which is Yale on bridgetown pike, wanted $25 for the signal and didn't give me a price on a fender.

damn that looks bad...not too bad tho good thing ur OK

i appreciate the sympathy, but did you just contradict yourself in a single lined post?

Do you have to go through the insurance though?

Check AL's in Neshaminy! They have a LOT of parts.

I was just gunna say, try Al's. That sucks though :(

yea went through insurance, we both ahve state farm which should help, i already spoke w/ my agent and was told that my insurance is only going to go up if her damage is over $1150, so if she has body damage, i'm prob. screwed, if it's just her bumper cover i should be ok.

Ah damn, I never would have reported that! I am sure it will work out, its not that bad.

because i'm a minor the cop reported it to harrisburg, so my insuranse would've found out anyway

I meant looks bad, but could have been worse....thats why I said "damn that looks bad..but not too bad"

Thats beat son! I've almost done that before, Hope you can get everything for cheap.

damn jay.....at least your ok....now go get clear corners instead right??

^ nobody makes them for my car...but right now i don't have any corners on the right so i guess that's a step towards getting rid of the amber...i checked Al's, they have don't have the parts that i need ( front right fender and turn signal housing ) i'm trying to buy an entire fender and just have it painted cause that's the cheapest way to do it, my paint isn't factory, it's has a metallic flake in it, so simply finding another black one isn't really in the question, plus my cool jdm pinstripe, anybody else want to recommend a place for parts?

try www.autopartswarehouse.com

also ebay sells some things...i duno how long you plan to keep the car, but id replace the corner lamp and just forget the fender till you find a good deal

that'll buff right out :mrgreen:
