Wait....The FJ reversed while there was a car behind you and while you, the car behind you, and the FJ Cruiser was at the stop sign? What has this world come to?!


That's BS. Hope her insurance is paying for it ALL.

good thing you bought Veilside (you did buy authentic, right?). Just call them back and you get a replacement bumper for 50% off. Just get a CF hood from Blacktibs/Flyryde and you'll come ahead with insurance money left to spare.

Blessing in disguise.

So I figure by the time i get the estimate on all the parts, body work and paint, I should be up to a pretty good amount, then I will just get the money and get someone I know to do the work for cheaper that way I can pocket some stuff and add more mods laugh.gif It sucks thought I just got some hid lights I was going to put in this week sad.gif

if you know the bodyshop guys, and you might if you had that kit painted and installed, I'd explain the situation and cordually request that they do not exceed blue book value.

why would I want them to not exceed blue book value? Wouldn't I want the estimate to by higher, thus making more money and get someone else to do any work needed for less?(pocket some money)
