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..

damage to the crv

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

Blkmax · 05-16-2007, 04:25 PM

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

ToyotaTat · 05-16-2007, 04:52 PM

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

Red94Celica · 05-16-2007, 04:58 PM

That really sucks, at least its nothing really bad

Did you try any junkyards or ebay?

98GSXdude · 05-16-2007, 05:06 PM

did you get a ticket for rear ending her?

ToyotaTat · 05-16-2007, 05:21 PM

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.

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

Vypurr · 05-16-2007, 05:28 PM

Do you have to go through the insurance though?

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

Kerplunk105 · 05-16-2007, 05:35 PM

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.

Vypurr · 05-16-2007, 05:39 PM

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

ToyotaTat · 05-16-2007, 05:55 PM

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"

esunbaboon · 05-16-2007, 06:19 PM

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

Crzyguy972 · 05-16-2007, 09:27 PM

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

ToyotaTat · 05-16-2007, 09:42 PM

^ 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?
