my car was rear ended once while i was stopped at the red light....no damage to the rear bumper...i got hit directly on the rear panel under and around the tail light.

the hit was hard enough for my car to drag and pushed over into the lane next to me (luckily there was no car there)

so the car went to honda for repairs and they fixed everything...new tail light, bumper and quarter panel work etc. etc. when i replaced my tail lights (with those JAY D MMM ones..hahha) some time back...i noticed an immense amount of bondo and filler work around that same area inside where i was hit....

so i figure they didnt replace the panel altogether and just fixed it. there was nothing wrong with the way the car drives though. it has been over one year now.

so i guess....unless there is no structural damage (as jay mentioned like chasis and other vital areas)...i would just have the area fixed instead of spending $$$ on new parts altogether.

 

agreed

 

 

hey its looking good

 

that's a pimp ride when its done

 

Kumanan...your dad's garage needs to go reality tv

 

haha lol
ohhh man i foudn this SICK feature today... you know the doors.. you dont have to slam them shut, you jus kinda tap it and a motor grabs it and locks it in.... its so wicked

 

^ just like the RL

 

^ the RL does not have this feature for the doors... At least not the Canadian or US spec ones. Come to think of it, the current Japanese Legend doesn't have this feature either however the Japanese Legend has a power closing trunk.

 

power closing trunks are great until your doomaass friend slams it like a normal one

 

thats been around on the mercedes and bimmers for awhile, in the show rooms they are hooked up on external batterys and how if ound out was i didn't wan to slam the car door so i just let it go. it didn't complete close and as i tried to close it reached for the handle, wallla it closed on its own, sucks though if you ever forget your keys and you just slightly close the door and remember and try to grab them and click closed shut....


nicely comming along for the car, i say you paint it all white, slam it, put it on some black 20's with polished chrome lip

 

i dont wanna change the colour, my painter says im just decreasing the value of the car by 5k+ by changing the colour, he suggested keeping it stock colour.

 

the doors wont shut and lock until the key is out of the car.
they arent stupid. lol

 

yea if the job was done ****ty.
and seeing as the car already was in an accident its already decreased in value.

 

if u sell it privately....most ppl wont kno its been in an accident....

 

you gotta tell them as long as it has a accident history....i dunno if i read or not that it as a clean title....

 

kumanan....once done...you should rent this ride to be used in gangsta hip hop videos.....y0 y0!!!!!

 

Regardless the paint unless a factory coour will decrease the value. I highly doubt anyone in the market for this kind of car is willing to buy it painted yellow or red. Therefore keep it black.

 

Is everyone a boyscout on the board. I gaurantee the majority of cars that have ever been hit are never told to the buyer.

 

^^ tru say...lol...dont get why people act like saints and knights of the law when it comes to other cars.
