Today I rear ended someone, and was left with a warning for "following too close". No collision on my car. Basically i have to pay for the damages myself. Heres the thing, to my knowledge my whole front end basically is unfixable so i dont really know what to do. i did this like 2 hours ago and the hood is wedged into the bumper so i cant even look to see what it looks like under the hood. The car runs, and the airbags did deploy (smashed my windshield in the process of this "life savor".) I have around $2,000 availiable to my name, im a hard working 17 year old just trying to have something to get around, but i am thinking about getting a kit. I have little knowledge on the body work area and was hoping that you guys can give me some better ideas on what to do. Maybe try to scavenge a bumper and hood? another thing is i can barely open my front door, like litterally my whole front end wedged into the middle of my car. I was already planning on getting a kit at some time but im also freaked out because of what happened, so should I spend some money on a body kit, or somehow fix this so its drivable. I love my car i was hoping u guys can look at the damages and give me some ideas on what to do.
Thanks. ![]() ![]() |

well to my best knowledge, if you look around the 2nd hand market you probably might get a invader front+rear bumper for about $300 shipped to ya. Of course add another $200 max or so for it to get painted and installed. Look for some on ebay or some other toyota sites.
So I think that would be around the same price of getting the original bumper and just replacing it. For the hood just go for the stock and buy it in buy/sell forum unless you got more than $1000 or so to spend on the repair. And yeah don't give up so easily, parting it is just gonna make one less 6gc in the world and you rarely see one these days anyway. |
