How's the estimate broken down? If they're giving an obnoxious quote for the hood itself, maybe a carbon fiber hood would actually be cheaper ........ then if you don't mind a black carbon fiber hood, then you might not even need to get any paint work because it looks like the bumper fascia can just be buffed out.

well, it's all over. the guy from the insurance co. called me back and they're going to total it. i'll walk away w/$1700 at the end of the day and if i want to keep the car i'll only get $1500. i dont know what to do, i know i'll have a hard time finding another mx around here and i've found a few "good deals" on other cars in the area, i'd just hate to get rid of my car.
no matter what though, i'll keep you guys posted on whats up. either way, wheather it's now or in 5 years, i'll buy another mx...i just love this car and was never able to swap in a ze and do all that fun stuff. so i will definately be back...

So, you only loose $200 to keep a working car with a little body damage? Where's the cunnundrum? Take the f---ing car!
And like I said, if you get a carbon fiber hood, you don't need to worry about the $900 in estimated paint labor, at least from what I see in the pics.

the only problem with keeping the car is...
1. no garage space
2. all repairs come out of pocket
3. not sure, even if i got the tie bar n' stuff reparied if i'd ever be able to do the swap. some bogus learance issures or something w/an aftermarket bar...???
youre right though 200 bucks is too easy to pass up...

if yer gonna junk it, (bad idea) take off yer front bumper and lip and sell it to me. I'll even come to indy and pick it up. Pm me if interested. I wouldn't give up on this if I were you though, but if you do, I need that bumper, even if its a little messed up, its better than mine: http://www.msnusers.com/mypicturesofrimsforsale It's gotta be better than that!

Wow, you're right; that bumper's nasty. I'm getting a kit in a few months ($$$$pending). I'll have no need for my old bumper. When are you coming down here?

I'll be down around June 1st or second. I'm hoping to get a GS bumper before then, but if I don't i'll definately take you up on that offer, thanksNallboy wrote:Wow, you're right; that bumper's nasty.

dude, keep the car no matter what, dont let insurance companies get the upper hand on ya. Find a POS car to get you from A to B , and take the MX one step at a time. I have seen people driving their cars around with worst damage than that. My old car had similar damage, and i was lucky enoguh to find one exactly the same in a junk yard that god rear ended That worked out quite well, same colour too!!!!
